*drool* My absolute favorite hybrid. Stunning!
Too bad that plant couldn't be judged... It is a spectacular example of the cross.

So, that begs the question, how do you get a legal division if the original plant cannot be divided?

The loophole that has been used is that any new growth once in a rescue center is considered 'art.prop' and CAN be used for breeding, asexual reproduction, etc. A ridiculous distinction given their stance on flasks.

It may be ridiculous but at least in this case it favors the introduction of rare species to the orchid hobby.
