Origin
A Mike-bred S. moorei seedling that caught Mike's attention for its skinny neck, distinctive shape, and pink color. As of 2023-08, still small and un-named — Mike opened the thread to invite community judgment.
Naming
Forum member alexis suggested "Pink Peak". Mike acknowledged but did not adopt; noted a competing obligation to name a clone after his wife (Elaine Wang 2.0).
Standout traits
- Skinny neck and unusual shape.
- Vivid color with strong contrast (per adaetz100).
- Whimsical drooping lid.
- Potential breeding parent — could pass shape onto whiter-lid forms.
Note: thread also contains a separate Adrian Slack hybrid
In May 2024 Mike posted a different plant in this same thread — an Adrian Slack hybrid that resulted from cross-contamination (he intended a moorei × purpurea venosa cross). Mike: "Good looking and better performer than Adrian Slack, but nothing unique IMO." That plant is documented here for archival purposes but may merit its own entry pending identification of the actual cross.
Standout traits
- Skinny neck, intriguing shape.
- Vivid coloration with strong contrast (per adaetz100).
- Whimsical drooping lid (per adaetz100).
- Possible breeding parent for transferring shape onto whiter-lid backgrounds.
Cultivation
Currently a tiny seedling under observation. Mike opened the thread to invite community judgment of whether the clone is worth pursuing — a notable departure from his usual no-clue-what-the-public-thinks framing.
