Catasetum Memoria Lum Hon
6 months has gone by since the passing away of our dear friend, Mr.Lum Hon. This talented and humble man's contribution to the orchid industry here and abroad will never be forgotten. Mr.Lee Nam Fook, president of the Orchid Society of Selangor & Federal Territory (and my good friend) made sure of that.
He just recently received a letter from the Royal Horticultural Society, London confirming registration of his latest hybrid. A cross between Ctsm. Jumbo Pearl and Ctsm. Dragon's Teeth, which he named Catasetum Memoria Lum Hon....in memory of the late Mr.Lum Hon.
Congratulations Mr.Lee, on your latest creation and thank you for sharing this meaningful and amazing beauty with us all.
