“New Hybrids with Catasetum, Cycnoches and Mormodes” by Fred Clarke, Sunset Valley Orchids |
Catasetum, Cycnoches and Mormodes are three related genera in the same tribe as Cymbidiums. There is no doubt that they are orchid oddities, but enchanting nonetheless, especially with the spectacular hybrids produced these last few years. Among the most notable is of course the orchid that produced the blackest flowers ever seen and which has been named after its creator... Fredclarkeara After Dark! Fred Clarke of Sunset Valley Orchids will deliver a fascinating look at some of the new hybrids and breakthroughs in the hybridization of Catasetum, Cycnoches and Mormodes, along with some cultural information. Fred has been growing orchids for 29 years and hybridizing for 19 of those years. He is a passionate orchid grower whose curiosity in orchids is broad and varied. His plants have received hundreds of quality awards from the American Orchid Society and Fred is a Probationary Judge in the Pacific South Judging Region. |
