From the matchstick of Bob Hamilton, the Odont world can never get enough non-fading yellows.

Several different tones of yellow, lovely blooms. The lip looks huge.

I have always regarded anything with Tiger Hambuhren in the mix is good value. This one looks to have such solid substance. From the image I notice that blotching is totally random across the sepals/petals but on each lip the pattern is very close to identical on each flower - most interesting.

Odcdm. Tiger Hambuehren never disappoints; it is a wonderful hybrid by itself, and a great parent for the creation of non-fading sunflower yellows. In the late 70ies every orchidist in Germany had at least one plant, if not several, of this hybrid. It flowered very reliably, displayed well and was very easy to grow and propagate by division - there must have been millions and millions of these plants around; even ALDI and other large retailers had it in their assortments.

But today ? Try to find a plant of Tiger Hambuehren in cultivation, not to talk about one for sale. It is almost impossible, and the few plants that may exist are - understandably - kept very close to the chest of their respective owners.

Does anyone here in the Forum grow and work with Odcdm. Tiger Hambuehren ?

Thanks to Andy, we do have a decent population of Tiger Hambuhren hybrids here in the UK and, hopefully, some more crosses to come from our own hybrid program.
