Encyclia Newberry Black Cherry*
(Encyclia Orchid Jungle 'Newberry' x Encyclia Ginger Snap)
We have Mark Reinke of Marble Branch Farms to thank for this photo of a first bloom seedling.
This is a back cross of Ginger Snap back onto one of its parents. Seedlings are expected to have chocolate brown petals and pinkish lips. Slender foliage and dwarf pseudobulbs. Very fragrant and easy to grow. Will prefer warm, bright conditions. Suitable for mount or basket culture. Fragrance is reminiscent of Dr. Pepper and other cherry flavored colas.
We have plants growing well in 2.5" pots.
