Masdevallia Tiger Kiss ‘GRR’

Masdevallia Tiger Kiss 'GRR' is a selected clone of this hybrid registered by Orchid Zone (M. Pendleton) in 1998, a cross of Masd. Golden Tiger × Masd. Monarch. Golden Tiger (M. veitchiana × M. calocodon) contributes the warm golden-yellow ground colour and bold scale. Monarch (M. macrura × M. veitchiana) contributes the elongated form of the macrura lineage. The result is a large flower with a golden-yellow ground, heavy red-orange veining toward the centre, extended tails and good substance. 'GRR' was selected for its scale and the intensity of its markings.
