Pod parent: CAPULINA (Craig 1962) EM (much later here in western NY) 38" SEV this 7" buff-throated garnet spider with a 5.8:1 ratio was rediscovered after a lengthy quest by Ned Roberts. Pod parent of IKTOMI, HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, WAY TO SANTE FE, BOOGIE MY WOOGIE, CHARON THE FERRYMAN and SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING; pollen of AMETHYST SQUID, DANCING SPIDER and GIANT KRAKEN; grandmother of ORCHID SPANGLES and grandfather of both YIN and YANG.
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].
