The combination
of C. Moon Festival x Earl has so far produced beautiful,
ruffled petal blossoms. They are all white except for the
yellow in the center of the lip. The blossoms are full size
and have a sweet, wonderful fragrance.
The C. Moon
Festival parent blooms at each new growth so blooming for
this new hybrid with C. Earl 'Imperialis' FCC/AOS continues
throughout the year.
The plants
grow vigorously, and even though they are relatively compact
and are blooming in the 4" pot, a 5" or 6"
pot would be more suitable as they mature.
The amazing
aspect of this cross is the effect the C. Earl 'Imperialis'
FCC/AOS has on the size and shape of the blossoms. The blossoms
are closer to the size of C. Earl and have retained much of
the same shape. The frequency of blooming, heavy substance
and fragrance is hinting that the C. Moon Festival is contributing
its share to make this a
important new addition.
