It is actually D. aurata x D. Colette Cywes 'Peach Blush'.
Disa (aurata x Colette Cywes 'Peach Blush')
29th June 2017
I raised the hybrid hoping to get small plants with decent numbers of smallish flowers on strong stems. I had assumed that
I would have to wait for a second generation to get the yellow colour back but the first seedling to flower was this interesting pale
orange. As it aged the flower opened more widely, the lower two tepals elongated and the whole flower blushed with pink.
This one is currently labelled "clone 1".

This is the second one to flower and is completely unlike the first. I am left wondering if this might be a stray pollination from
somewhere else, or a stray seed. It is a tall, classic Disa hybrid, stem about 40cm long with large pink flowers.
Unsurprisingly labelled "clone 2". Interesting because of its supposed parentage but otherwise unexceptional.
