Vuylstekeara Cindy 'Pinky Lee' HCC/AOS is a near blooming size clone of the awarded plant, and the flowers will be simply beautiful. A member of the oncidium family, this orchid (Milt. My Clown x Onc. Shonan Pinky) pretty much grows like the proverbial weed. The flowers are just amazing -- relatively large, somewhat mottled and simply stunning. The color consists of wonderful shades of red, purple, pink and lavender, with some yellow in the center. This is a clone of the awarded plant. The judges had this to say about the flowers, about two inches across: "Six flowers and nine buds on two inflorescences; sepals and petals grape-purple, centrally white spotted maroon; lip light purple darker purple margin and frill extended into center, centrally yellow; column white, sides light purple and dark maroon; substance heavy; texture matte." Technically speaking it can also be called a miltonidium. It will be slightly on the cool growing side because of the miltoniopsis in the breeding background. Mature plants can have 6 to 8 flowers per bloom spike. These are near blooming size, likely to flower within 18 months or so. They are freshly repotted in 4 inch pots. These are easy to grow. Medium light and water are best, fertilize weakly twice a month. We have a bunch of these and we'll pick out a nice one for you. Oh, by the way, Pinky Lee was a children's television show host way back in the 50s -- a precursor to The Howdy Doody show. You can buy with confidence. We guarantee customer satisfaction upon delivery.
