Myrmecocattleya HKN Yen's Devotion

Myrmecocattleya HKN Yen's Devotion is a registered primary orchid hybrid in the Cattleya alliance. It was registered with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in 2018 by Ho-Kin Ng. The cross is:

• Seed parent: Myrmecophila thomsoniana
• Pollen parent: Cattleya violacea

Because it is a 50/50 primary hybrid, growers generally expect traits from both parents:

• Large, vigorous growth and high-light tolerance from Myrmecophila thomsoniana
• Rich color, fragrance, and fuller Cattleya-style flowers from Cattleya violacea

Typical culture recommendations are:

• Bright light to near full sun
• Warm to intermediate-warm temperatures
• Strong airflow
• Coarse, fast-draining media
• Regular watering during active growth with slight drying between waterings
