米国のキース デイビス オーキッドの キースデイビスさんが、以下の写真を送ってくださいました。リンクがありますので、是非ともキースさんのホームページをごらんください。以下の写真は全て同じseed pod( Blc. Chia Lin ‘Shin-su #1’ x Blc. Goldenzelle ‘Orange Pumpkin’)から生まれた兄弟姉妹です。
Thanks to Mr.Keith Davis, Keith Davis Orchids. Please visit his home page. Following two pictures are sent from Mr.Keith Davis. Very attractive flowers.
同じ親を使った交配でもこれほどの違いがでるところが、カトレア交配種の楽しみです。
There are many differences even from the same seedpod. Let’s start hybrid cattleya growing.
Greetings, my friend Gene Crocker sent me a email informing me that you have a beautiful clone of Blc Suzuki’s Matrix that you have named ‘Mellinnum Sunset ‘. I am very pleased with the deep color that it has. (I paint with oils as a hobby and enjoy the color that comes from mixing “cadmium orange with alizarin crimson.). I am very honored that you wish to breed with it. Both of Suzuki’s Matrix parents are good growers and have yellow. I have bloomed a couple of clones that have been more yellow than orange. I have more information if you are interested.
Best regards,
Steve
