Cross ID: SS-4
Name: Disa Lancer Smith
Parentage: Disa Foam × Disa Auratkew
Line: Seed Studio® Classic Line
Background: approx. 71.88% D. uniflora + 25.00% D. aurata + 3.13% D. racemosa

Notes:
SS-4 is a remake of the registered hybrid Disa Lancer Smith, using Disa Foam and Disa Auratkew.

Disa Foam brings strong D. uniflora influence, fuller flower shape, and red/pink Disa background. Disa Auratkew contributes D. aurata influence, warm yellow-orange color, and the potential for multiple flowers per spike.

The goal of this cross is to combine the fuller flower presentation from Disa Foam with the warmer yellow-orange color and higher flower count potential from Disa Auratkew.

Seedlings are expected to produce medium-sized flowers with multiple blooms per spike. Color may range from red-orange, coral, salmon, apricot, orange-yellow, or warm bicolor tones, depending on how the D. uniflora, D. aurata, and D. racemosa influence expresses in each seedling.

Expected traits:
* Medium-sized flowers
* Multiple flowers per spike
* Warm red, orange, coral, apricot, or yellow-orange tones
* Possible bicolor or blended color expression
* D. aurata influence for yellow/orange color direction
* D. uniflora influence for flower size and shape
* D. racemosa influence for softer pink/coral tones
* Good collector and breeding potential

This cross is recommended for growers and collectors interested in warm-color Disa with multiple-flower potential and documented registered-grex background.

------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
------------------------------------------------------------

You will receive one healthy Disa orchid seedling similar to the sample seedling shown in the second photo.

The profile photos show the actual parent plants used for this cross(left: pod parent, right: pollen parent). Seedlings are not blooming yet, and each seedling is genetically unique.

Most seedlings take about 1.5–2 years to bloom under good growing conditions. Very vigorous seedlings may bloom sooner, sometimes around 1 year, but I recommend growing them larger first for stronger plants and better flower quality.

------------------------------------------------------------
EXPECTED FLOWER TRAITS
------------------------------------------------------------

In many Disa crosses, the offspring usually show traits within the range of both parents.

Flower color is often between the color range of the two parents. Flower size and number of flowers per spike are usually close to the geometric average of the two parents.

For example, if one parent is Disa uniflora with around 2 flowers per spike, and the other parent is Disa tripetaloides with around 8 flowers per spike, the registered hybrid Disa Kewensis may average around 4 flowers per spike.

Many crosses with Disa uniflora influence are also slightly fragrant. To me, the fragrance is often close to a mix of freesia, peach, and jasmine. Different crosses may vary.

------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC GROWING GUIDANCE
------------------------------------------------------------

Disa orchids are often described as difficult, but from my experience, strong seedlings are fast and rewarding growers when the basic conditions are correct.

Key points:

* Keep the media moist.
* Live sphagnum moss is ideal(if the moss is alive, the grow well).
* Use soft, low-mineral water. Less than 100 ppm is preferred.
* Feed lightly, around 1/3 strength orchid fertilizer, roughly 200 ppm.
* Do not fertilize during the first 2 months after receiving the plant.
* After a new leaf fully grows in your environment, start feeding lightly every 2 weeks.
* Good air circulation is helpeful.
* Intermediate to cool conditions are preferred.

Many people are afraid Disa cannot handle heat, but I have seen strong seedlings tolerate temperatures around 90°F in my greenhouse and continue growing well. They still prefer intermediate to cool conditions, but they are more adaptable than many growers expect.

Growers in Florida have grown and bloomed Disa successfully, and some East Coast growers bloom them indoors under plant lights. The key is consistent moisture, clean water, light feeding, and air movement.

Under good conditions, you can usually see clear new growth every week.

------------------------------------------------------------
BEST BEGINNER CROSS
------------------------------------------------------------

If you are new to Disa and want to try one first, I recommend Cross #68.

Cross #68 is one of the most vigorous Disa crosses I have made so far. It grows faster and stronger than many other crosses, and I am offering it at a very beginner-friendly price so more growers can experience Disa successfully.

------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THIS BREEDING PROGRAM
------------------------------------------------------------

These seedlings are part of my own Seed Studio Disa breeding program.

I have made over 250 Disa crosses and continue breeding for stronger plants, better flower form, new colors, improved patterns, larger flowers, higher flower count, fragrance, and more interesting species and primary hybrid combinations.

This is not a resale plant with unknown background. Each cross is made with selected parents, documented parent photos, and a clear breeding goal.

I do the breeding, flasking, growing, and seedling selection myself. Because I control the full pipeline, I can select stronger seedlings from large batches.

------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTED PARENTAGE + QUALITY SELECTION
------------------------------------------------------------

For serious collectors, documentation matters.

Each released cross includes parent photos whenever available, so growers can understand the expected flower direction and breeding potential.

My parent selection is guided by:

* Flower form
* Color quality
* Pattern clarity
* Flower size
* Flower count
* Spike habit
* Plant vigor
* Species background
* Award potential
* Long-term breeding value

As an AOS student judge and active orchid breeder, I evaluate my parent plants with an award-standard eye. I pay attention not only to whether a flower is beautiful, but also to proportion, symmetry, substance, presentation, distinctiveness, and improvement over existing lines.

------------------------------------------------------------
BREEDING DIRECTION
------------------------------------------------------------

My Disa breeding work focuses on pushing the current boundary of what Disa can look like and how well they can grow.

Some of the traits I am working toward include:

* Stronger and faster-growing seedlings
* More heat-tolerant and adaptable plants
* Better flower form and presentation
* Larger flowers
* Higher flower count per spike
* Cleaner colors
* Rare and unusual color patterns
* Stronger contrast
* Better fragrance
* Improved species and primary hybrids
* New combinations that are rarely available in the market

I am especially interested in species and primary hybrids, while also working with selected complex hybrids when they can bring special color, form, size, or vigor.

------------------------------------------------------------
THE WORK BEHIND EACH SEEDLING
------------------------------------------------------------

These seedlings are not generic Disa plants or resale plants with unknown background.

Each cross represents years of collecting, observing, breeding, flasking, growing, and selecting. The parent plants are chosen with specific goals in mind, such as stronger growth, better flower form, clearer color, rare patterns, larger flowers, higher flower count, fragrance, or stronger breeding potential.

the work behind the plant:

* Selected parent plants
* Documented parent photos whenever available
* Planned breeding direction
* In-house flasking and seedling production
* Time spent growing, observing, and evaluating vigor
* Continued investment into rare Disa species, primary hybrids, and breeding lines


In 2025, 9 Disa received AOS awards, and 6 of those were from my plants. This gives me a very practical reference point for evaluating Disa quality, parent selection, flower form, presentation, and future breeding potential.

For serious collectors, the value is not only the seedling itself, but also the documented parentage, the breeding background, and the chance to grow something from an active Disa breeding program focused on pushing the current boundary of color, pattern, vigor, and flower quality.

So sparkly
Color: Gold
This works so good. I like my glitter to stick all over my body and this will stick as long as you rub it in a little. But there is alot of fallout so be careful where you spray it

Shining Shimmering Splendid
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
Alright, first of all I LOVE the packaging and the spray bottle. Absolutely adorable! Aesthetics are off the charts. As for the actual power and look of the glitter, it is pretty good. I tried to take photos of it on my hands/arms but the camera has a really hard time picking up the small glitter. In person it will give you a shiny or shimmery look rather than coated in gold. Not quite what I was hoping for, but definitely a cool look! The spray is quite powerful, so be aware of where you are putting it on. It is very easy to apply, just keep in mind that glitter will go EVERYWHERE. It also comes off easily enough either by rubbing a cloth or washing with water.

Great glitter body spray
Color: Fairy-Diamond, Color: Fairy-Diamond
So cute. Came with extra glitter, I’m assuming lipgloss you can make into glitter lipgloss, a funnel to help pour the glitter. Or re load your spray. The spray performance is nice. Might stick better with some oil before hand? But I like it so far. Worked 6 hours and still had glitter on me for my photoshoot. I sprayed perfume and then glitter. There’s no odor. The amount of quantity of glitter you get seems good for the price. Durability seems good so far but like I said may need some oil or lotion first to help it stick all day.

Troll glitter
Color: Brandy-Rose
Do not spray too much! This glitter is so fine that it dispenses easily from the puff part and you can easily make yourself look like Poppy the troll. We had so much fun with this for prom
