Abstract
A new and distinct variety of orchid. More particularly a quadrigeneric orchid hybrid known as Yamadara Midnight Magenta `Fine Wine` hybrid which is outstanding and distinct from other orchids because of its superior flowers which combine rare coloring, outstanding shape, number of flowers on the stem and excellent plant vigor. The coloring is rich dark burgundy wine throughout all parts of the flower. The new cultivar is also distinctive from its sibling population and similar hybrids by its outstanding plant vigor and reliability of bloom. Its flowers are of exceptional substance with thick and more resiliant petals than related siblings of the grex. They are perfectly placed on the stem; the stem is superior to its relatives in strength; the flowers have a longer bloom life and are produced more abundantly than orchids of the nearest similar breeding.
