A Dendrobium seedling from cross number 5871, Anne's Rainbow Surprise 'Bairnsdale' x speciosum 'Travis'. It suits growers who want to raise their own plant from a registered Australian hybrid with a Den. bigibbum background and see how it turns out.
About this plant
Anne's Rainbow Surprise is a registered Australian hybrid bred by I. Klein in 1995 (Den. Colonial Surprise x Den. speciosum). Den. bigibbum is a great-grandparent, which contributes the vivid colour, upright racemes and large flower size this grex is known for.
The 'Bairnsdale' clone has deep hot pink flowers. The other parent, speciosum 'Travis', has a creamy-green, spidery character. This cross should produce plants with impressive spike length, good colour and the vigour typical of speciosum crosses, with extra colour intensity from the bigibbum background. It is more adaptable across a range of climates than most Australian native hybrids.
Growing conditions
- Light: bright filtered light
- Temperature: 5°C to 28°C, with cool nights required

What you'll receive
An established seedling in an 80mm pot, grown in the Dandenong Ranges. It is not yet flowering size and has not flowered. Individual results will vary. That is the nature of a seedling cross and part of what makes it worthwhile.
