I cannot get the RHS data base to give parents of Cymbidium Sue.
Dunno how you missed it, except the Web site was having a problem a week or so ago.
Cym. Sue = Showgirl x Peter Pan. It was registered by Santa Barbara in 1980.
<<Why it is popular in breeding programs.>>
I don't grow Cymbidiums, but I would surmise:
It is a cross of two very successful grexes.
It is fall blooming & its offspring are apparently good bloomers.
It is compact, being a cross of a miniature with an intermediate.
If you have access to OrchidWiz or Wildcatt, you can look up how many clones of Sue have been awarded.
