Very nice, Jim. I like how the red carries over from Zalamanda and is overlaid in the dorsal by the dark chocolate of the Sandy Leiby.

What are your thoughts? Is it worth breeding with and in what direction?

All nice!

Fair to say the seedling has improved qualities. That's the goal!

Great result so far. Will be interesting to see some others when they bloom.
