Created especially for the City of Dublin, California, the Pride of Dublin is a Cattleya orchid known as “Queen of the Orchids”. The new hybrid Pride of Dublin orchid is a cross between two parent orchids, so like children, these orchids will not be identical. Their color range is primarily shades of red/purple with deep gold throats.

Available in 3 ¼-inch pots for $20 each, these young plants (only four years old) will be blooming for the first time in 2005 and they should bloom twice a year. When fully mature, the orchids will sport up to five blooms per stem. These plants are compact growers, staying under 12-14 inches in height.

History

Frank Fordyce of Fordyce Orchids, Livermore, California, created this hybrid four years ago, but he has been studying, hybridizing and cultivating Cattleya orchids for almost 60 years. A world-renowned hybridist, Frank just received the American Orchid Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Frank and his wife lived and worked in Dublin for 20 years until recently when they moved to a Pleasanton senior community.
