(Rlc. Buttercup x Cattleya Bob Betts)

Large, fragrant, showy pink flowers help to put this plant on the American Orchid Society’s list of Collector’s Items:

“This hybrid embodies all of the fine qualities one would expect in a standard Cattleya hybrid. Two or three large, flat flowers are produced and well-held on a strong inflorescence. The flowers are usually spaced nicely and rarely crowded... One of Rlc. George King's extra bonuses is the delicious fragrance that can perfume a whole room. Although the Rhyncholaelia digbyana parent is four generations back, the sweet citrus fragrance is unmistakeable. And if these qualities were not enough to put this grex in the orchid hall of fame, it blooms several times a year for your enjoyment.” — Greg Allikas, “Rlc. George King ‘Serendipity’ AM/AOS,” AOS Collector’s Items

Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. Examples of the 4” Pot option are pictured. Plants available are first-bloom or previously bloomed.

Orchid Care: Generally adaptable and easy to care for. Grow in bright indirect light with good air circulation and moderate humidity. We recommend potting this variety to better accommodate the stature of the plant (though plants can be grown mounted if preferred). For potted plants use a large aggregate bark/bark mix that drains easily. Allow plants to dry out between waterings.
