branching besseae

[JC94030]

There has been some discussion about besseae branching or lack there of. Here are a couple pictures of a branching besseae at OZ. This is straight besseae parentage (to the best of the breeder's knowledge) The branching is modest, but this is a trait that Terry selects for. I show a close up of the flower to confirm that it pretty much looks like a straight besseae.

that is great. I also have a normal besseae that branches when its culture is right

Mmmmmmm! What cross is that and are they for sale? I have a couple of besseae hybrids that flower out of sequence also, did anyone else notice that?
