The extremely popular, yet hard to find Phal. Sweet Memory 'Liodoro' is here! It’s not hard to see why this novelty Phal is so popular. It is one of the most sought after orchids for its wonderful scent, large flowers with beautiful color, and most importantly is one of the easiest orchids to grow. We are excited to announce the return of this classic novelty hybrid.
The pod parent, Phal. Deventeriana 'Treva' AM/AOS, was the break out plant of the 1980s. Registered in 1927, it is a primary hybrid with Phal. amabilis and Phal. amboinensis. It has made scores of progeny, including some famous hybrids like Phal. Brother Lawrence and Phal. Orchid World. The pollen parent, Phal. violacea, contributes its wonderful fragrance and compact growth habit.
We decided to re-tissue culture this amazing clone ‘Liodoro’ as many growers have never had the opportunity of growing this classic, fragrant novelty with big flowers. It produces multiple inflorescences that remain green for a long time and can rebloom for several years. Do not cut the flower spike unless it is brown and dry. It is sequential flowering with flowers opening on either side of the inflorescence. The fragrance intensifies with warmer temperature. Excellent for growing on a windowsill or under lights. Highly Recommended.
