The Hybrid: The material for this cross comes from Bob Hamilton of Hawk Hill Nursery. He is a well known hybridizer of Odontoglossum who has been working with these for 40 years. His expection for this cross is "Two outstanding tetraploids which should produce high flower count, branching spikes."

Culture: This Odontoglossum hybrid will need cool to cool-intermediata temperatures to thrive. Moderate to moderately bright light. If the temperatures are cool they can do well with the moderately bright light. You don’t want to give them so much light that the leaves feel warm to the touch. Give them year round water and dilute fertilizer. Traditionally grown in fine bark or bark mix.
