Hawkinsara (Cattleytonia) Koolau Sunset 'Hawaii' AM/AOS

[Leisurely]

This is a first bloom seedling and it is a plant that I got from Hauserman's Orchids two years ago. The cross is C. Mae Hawkins x Ctna. Keith Roth.

It is one of those very difficult burgandy colors to capture so, after a half dozen pictures I came fairly close. The actual color is that of dark burgandy wine. The flowers are three and one half inches.

Great color, and a really nice shape. Well done.

It's beautiful Jerry! I've been wanting one of these for a while now. I already have a lot of red flowers though so have been holding off. Limited space and all...

Quiltergal, this is a very easy plant to accomodate. The leaves and bulbs are about nine inches tall and it is a very compact grower. One pseudobulb is formed off the prior one with no visible rhizome so they, in essence, just stack up. I have grown it in a four inch pot for two years and the four inch pot will be suitable for another two years. The size must be influenced by the Cattleytonia in the background.

Great shots Jerry! Fantastic color and good size flowers.
