Blc. Mahina Yahiro 'FANGtastic Splash' / Orchids.com

Our fabulous clone, Blc. Mahina Yahiro ‘Ulii’ AM/AOS was WOW, WOW and WOW when it was first released. It has not only garnered two AOS flower awards, but is also a recipient of a First Class Certificate at the 4th Asia Pacific Orchid Show in addition to garnering Best Cattleya accolades at the 1999 New Otani International Show. Our newest clone, Blc. Mahina Yahiro 'FANGtastic Splash', is a chance mutation from our popular awarded clone ‘Ulii’ AM/AOS and is even more impressive! This one is OMG, OMG, OMG! First release of this amazing, rare splash clone. The plants are divisions of the original mutation, thus guaranteeing an exact duplicate. Blc. Mahina Yahiro is a cross between a cotton candy pink Cattleya and a large pink lavender Cattleya. This wonderfully fragrant new clone is even more very compact than ‘Ulii’ (1/3 smaller), producing upright growths on a compact footprint rather than being widely spread or “walking” as is the case with many Cattleyas. The B. digbyana in its background really shines through in this stable mutation with its large prominent lip, intense fragrance, and robust, compact growth habit. Blc. Mahina Yahiro is a great improvement over both parents—it’s one of our best-selling pink Cattleyas with a Brasso-lip, its flowers reaching 15cm in size with up to two flowers per inflorescence. It blooms twice a year—once in late fall (around Thanksgiving) and again in the spring. Cooler temperatures will intensify the color of the splash picotee. This is one spectacular Cattleya worthy of adding to every serious Cattleya collection! Very Highly Recommended! Award Quality! It’s FANGtastic! More Details
