Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.

The large flowers of Denis Roessiger (Pot. Golden Circle x Slc. Angel Eyes) are very rounded, with an unusual red on red flaring with a well-shaped red lip with a spot of yellow in the throat. Candy Sparks (Slc. Mem. Trudi Marsh x Slc. Angel's Fantasy) is a true mini-Catt - plants are just 6” tall – the flowers are beautifully flared in red and yellow, and they bloom twice a year. We used Candy Sparks as a parent a lot this year.  Combining it with Dennis Roessiger will increase flower size, intensify the colours of the flared flowers, give well rounded flower shapes and  3-4 per inflorescence.  I attached a photo of the first to bloom….its a ripper
