Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Flower buds open into ball-shaped trusses of custard-yellow with wavy edges and yellow blotch on the dorsal lobe. Numerous dark brown spots dot the blotch! A pleasing color not often seen.

By: Bloom River Gardens

The deep green, shiny foliage is topped off with red flower and leaf buds. Plant habit is Yak-like with dense new foliage and white indumentum. Unlike the Yak parent the foliage is flat. Flower trusses are full. Red buds open to butter-yellow flowers with a stronger yellow and brown sparse spotting on the dorsal lobe. Treasure this one! ('Yaku Sunrise' x 'Lem's Cameo')
