A cross of C. Chocolate Drop by Slc. MaeHawkins, the five flowers on two inflorescences exhibited the intense color and waxy texture expected in C. Chocolate Drop offspring. Althought the cross was registered in 1983, it did nott receive any awards until 2002 – no doubt a remake of the original hybrid.

Grower: Ted and Marty Kellogg

A plant with eight well-formed flowers on 3 inflorescences. This is a cross of Blc. Love Sound by Lc. Meldoy Fair. that was registered in 2003. The clone ‘Grace’ earned its HCC/AOS award a few days later at the Venice Orchid Society Show.

Grower: Margaret Cullen

Ludisia discolor is grown for its folliage. Growing an outstanding plant requires continued maintenance – no insect eaten leaves, lush growth, and of course, no residue on the leaves to distract from the natural beauty. Margaret’s plant with over 70 inflorescences was an example of outstanding culture.

Grower: Noreen Chervinski

This unregistered hybrid presented 6 upright inflorescences each with 16-20 flowers, and three other inflorescences were in an early growth stage. The impressive display of purple flowers caught the attention of members.

This plant had seven flowers on three inflorescences. The dark purple color of the sepals and petals was evenly and deeply saturated and enhanced by the rich, red purple lip.

Grower: Roy Klinger

This hybrid of Bc. Maikai by L. purpurata was registered in 2002 and was made by Quest orchids. There were 16 inflorescences, each carried about seven flowers. Blc. Simba’s Song has the growth and flowering habit of Bc. Maikai with larger flowers.
