It is delenatii season here at Orchids Limited, so I thought I would post some pictures of all the different forms:
The first is a division from a plant originally owned by Ross Hella: delenatii 'Deerwood' AM/AOS. It is a tetraploid delenatii, and received an AM/AOS. the flowers are pretty huge:
Next a picture of a diploid delenatii 'Pink Lady'. This one was selected for the size of the flowers; they are almost as big at the tetraploid clone 'Deerwood'. The only thing I don't like about this clone, is how the petals reflex:
Next is another diploid delenatii: 'My Time' this clone has excellent shape, but the flowers are a little smaller comapred to 'Pink Lady':
One of our awarded album delenatii's: 'White Wonder' AM/AOS:
One of our vinicolor delenatii's:
The bad thing about the vinicolor delenatii's is that the flowers have pretty poor shape, with the dorsal sepal that usually reflexes. I crossed it onto our better shaped 'My Time' clone to hopefully improve on the shape. Here is one of the seedlings from 'My Time' x var vinicolor 'Dunkel'. The shape has definately improved and I would say the color is inbetween the 2 forms:
