C. intermedia 'Penn Valley' AM/AOS

C. intermedia 'Penn Valley' is a new addition to my collection. Floradise Orchids, a little over an hour down the road from me, was having a sale and this plant made its way home with me. I believe this plant is from Dr. William W. Wilson of Penn Valley Orchids. This one is a clone but I really liked the flower form when I saw it. I don’t have a large number of bifoliate catt’s but I am excited to have this one. I general, intermedia’s don’t start blooming until April in my area. I suspect this one was grown in Hawaii and as such is a little ahead of us east coast folks. I will look for it to be more in sync with the other next year.
