Dendrobium Tyabb 'Kings Park' x Tyabb 'St Albans'

Dendrobium Tyabb 'Kings Park' × Tyabb 'St Albans' is an unregistered Australian native seedling cross (cross number 5373). Both parents are cultivars of the registered hybrid Tyabb — a kingianum-alliance cross known for upright compact canes, star-shaped flowers, and strong colour. Crossing two clones of the same grex concentrates that line's character. These seedlings are expected to produce plants with well-presented flowers in the white to cream range with heavy purple or magenta barring and a solid vivid lip. Expect variation between individual plants.
