This super compact, miniature, orange hybrid Cattleya is sensational! Clusters of thick-textured flowers open a rich yellow and then turn a pumpkin-orange as it matures. It flowers twice a year for us. Being weather tolerant, it can tolerate temperature down to 45°F—we grow them outdoors in southern California and keep the potting media dry during the colder months. The clone 'Golden Boy', a tetraploid, has amazing flat, long-lasting flowers with a heavy substance.
The pod parent, Lc. Golden Girl (syn. Ctt. Golden Girl) = Lc. Orange Ann x C. aurantiaca (syn. Gur. aurantiaca), is strongly influenced by the C. aurantiaca. The pollen parent, Pot. Taida Love Star (syn. Rth. Taida Love Star) = Love Call x Netrasiri Starbright, is a magnificent multifloral.
These easy to grow plants are very vigorous, quickly growing to a specimen size. Very low maintenance and tolerant of wide temperature range make this an excellent plant for a beginner. Can be grown on a bright windowsill or under lights. Perfect for mounting or growing outdoors in areas where winters are frost free and temperatures are above 45°F. We expect many awards for this magnificent plant. Highly recommended.
