Masdevallia Veitch’s Candy Cane ‘Super Striper’ HCC/OSCOV, AM/AOC

Masdevallia Veitch's Candy Cane 'Super Striper' HCC/OSCOV, AM/AOC is an awarded clonal selection of this well-known Masdevallia hybrid, holding two awards — a Highly Commended Certificate from the Orchid Society Council of Victoria and an Award of Merit from the Australian Orchid Council. Veitch's Candy Cane is a celebrated striped hybrid in the Masdevallia world; 'Super Striper' was selected for the exceptional clarity, boldness, and symmetry of its red striping over a rich golden-orange ground — a flower where the patterning is so defined and evenly distributed that it earns the name.

What to expect

• Flowering: Single flowers on erect spikes held clear of the foliage. Can carry multiple spikes simultaneously on well-established plants.
• Flowers: Rich golden-orange to amber ground with bold, symmetrical red striping radiating through all three sepals. Crisp, well-defined stripes — the dual awards reflect the consistency and quality of this clone's patterning under judging. Long tails extending cleanly from the lower sepals.
• Plant: Compact Masdevallia habit, vigorous when cool conditions are met.
