Newly Awarded - Odcdm. Catatante 'Pumpkin Patch' AM/AOS

[Halloamey]

Congratuations Kathi !! Such an amazing color and very well bloomed !

I know Bill & maybe a couple of other folks on OT have this cultivar as well, so you can update your tags with the new info, if you like.

Unless they are clones of your plant they cannot have AM on their tags LOL ! IS Pumpkinpatch the name you have to this plant? Very apt !

Amey--

No, 'Pumpkin Patch' is the growers name...it just had't been awarded before. It is a cloned variety already, so all Catatante 'Pumpkin Patch' orchids are the same genetically.

But, it IS an apt name, isn't it?

Thank you all for the kind comments!

Congratulations, Kathi!!! That's one awesome looking Odont. To be awarded AM for such young plant - it must have really impressed the judges!

Yew, from what I am told, the judges were very taken with the color and the pattern on the blooms (some of the subtle shadings don't show up well in the photo). And of course, the credit for all that goes to the breeder, not me...I'm still just happy to have any blooms! Other awards for different cultivars in the grex were for lplants with numerous inflorescences... if I can grow this one to that size, it will be a really amazing show.

That really is lovely, Kathi. Congratulations on the award and the great job growing this. Aren't you glad you didn't listen to yourself?
