A relatively late Butterfield cross using two fine parents from his ‘orange/bronze’ breeding line. Never listed in his catalogue and almost unknown amongst Pleione growers. Very similar to Suswa in colour, the petals and sepals yellow flushed with brown, the yellow lip finely spotted with red. A present from Ian to Rainer Kretz that I am hoping to make more widely available. Choice.
