(78 days) F-1 hybrid. A smaller more-marketable alternative to Orangeglo. Orchid provides reliable early production of refined 6–8 lb oblong fruits with bright orange flesh, crisp texture and super sweet floral flavor and not a hint of the hollow heart that can plague orange-fleshed watermelons. Medium light green rind with dark green striping. Ripened for Heron on Aug. 29, 2013, from a late June 12 transplanting. William Gray who grows Orange Orchid in the Upper Midwest reported a yield of 5 melons all with outstanding flavor and a top weight of 8 lb 14 oz. ③
