The Okarchee hybrid shown at left is the first from this cross to have this deep raspberry fuchsia/purple color. Most of the others that bloomed last year were a much paler pink shade with medium colored lips. Nothing spectacular but pleasing. The spikes are nice and tall showing the cattleytonia parent's influence but the shape of the flowers and arrangement of the blooms on the spike look more like the Okarchee parent. Will have to get pictures of the parents to do a side by side comparison.
