Sarcochilus (Melody Mel × Cherie Snow) × Bunyip is an Australian Sarcochilus seedling cross bred by a specialist Tasmanian breeder. The cross combines the Melody Mel × Cherie Snow hybrid — known for rich spotting and deep pink to purple tones — with Bunyip, which contributes vigour and strong central patterning. The photographs show the parent plants. Individual seedlings will vary in colour, marking density, and form.

What to expect

• Flowering: Spring to early summer. Short upright spikes carrying multiple flowers held clear of the foliage.
• Flowers: Expected range of white to pink with deep pink, purple, and burgundy spotting and central markings drawing on both parents. Heavily patterned seedlings are likely given the parentage. Pattern and intensity will vary across individual plants.
• Plant: Compact Sarcochilus habit. Supplied in a 66mm pot as a small established seedling.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Avoid sustained heat. Well-suited to outdoor growing in southern Australia and cool-temperate regions.
• Light: Bright filtered shade. No direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist year-round. Sarcochilus has no pseudobulbs and no dormancy — do not allow to dry out completely.
• Feeding: Balanced fertiliser through spring and summer at reduced strength. Good air movement is important.
