Pod parent: GREY WITCH (Reed 1999) EM 30" DOR 4.22:1 is the ratio of this 6" Spider. Registered as having 2 branches and 15 buds, it does lots more, is vigorous, and gets taller as well. Got to 42" here in 2006 with an average of 29 buds per scape and has maintained those habits since, even with routine over-podding. Gray lavender with a purple eye above a green throat. Won a well deserved Award of Merit in 2009. (TRAHLYTA X unknown). Pod parent of MONACAN TRAIL, OCEAN SPIRIT, ORION'S BAND and ZERO TO SIXTY, pollen of BUZZER BEATER and GREY WOLF, grandmother of LIGHT AS AIR.
Pollen parent: NNWSHHYP-8 (unregistered) L 42” DOR 11” With thick, sturdy scapes and 2 laterals holding 22 buds, I could not help but select this curled and twisted orchid Cascade Unusual Form with its big yellow to chartreuse throat when it first bloomed in 2015. Unopened buds often look as if they are spiraled. I’d almost introduced its mother, and still keep it as a bridge plant, because it has great branching with 30+ buds but chose its sibling, MAIN SQUEEZE, for its extreme form instead. NNWSH27HYP-8 is definitely in contention for future (2019 or 2020) introduction. [(NINA NINA WOLVERINA x SCISSORHANDS) X HYPER].
