■ (SPX) 'Orange Glow'

2011, Mc Murtrie

'Orange Glow' ( Alan McMurtrie, 2011). SPEC-X, Subgenus Hermodactyloides , Reticulata hybrids (not registered with AIS). Seedling (98-OO-1) Early bloom season. Yellow-orange with striking rich dark brown markings. A stunning combination. This was the first hybrid to show that an orange Reticulata is possible. But what really makes it a showstopper, is its rich dark brown style arm ribs, and wonderfully intricate dotting around the fall ridge of that same brown. The name expresses the fact that the orange intensity fades as the flower ages, and that the orange intensity is a bit stronger around the fall ridge. Truly amazing. (parentage I. danfordiae x 88-AX) Janis Ruksans' Bulb Nursery 2011
