Pairs well with
This is cross number 5022: Dendrobium Newbold Chunky 'Kim' x speciosum 'Windermere' HCC, offered as a seedling. It suits growers who want to raise a speciosum-type hybrid from a young plant, with parents chosen for colour and form.
About this plant
Newbold Chunky 'Kim' brings warm amber-gold tones with a rich red-brown overlay. It is crossed with speciosum 'Windermere' HCC, one of the most respected breeding clones in Australian native orchid circles, known for passing strong colour and form on to its offspring. Expect good spike presentation and colour influenced by both parents, with the vigour and generous flowering typical of speciosum crosses.
Every seedling in a cross is slightly different, so individual results will vary. That is the nature of a seedling cross and part of what makes it worthwhile.
