Guess what the parentage is (1);

[Phrag-Plus]

Here is an informative game to demonstrate than it is not always easy to guess what a cross is...

 

[slippertalker]

Are these all primaries or a bit more complex?

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Do we win the Phrag. if we guess right?

 

[Leo Schordje]

My guess
(sargentianum or lindleyanum x richteri) or

(Sorcerer's Apprentice x richteri)

 

[slippertalker]

I see Sorceror's Apprentice or perhaps Urgandiae in this flower. Not too sure if there is much more but would guess not.

two of them are are F3 and the third is F2 x F2

I will say yes but I can ship only in Canada!

Heh heh, that's what I figured. Quick, somebody, email me the answer. :ninja:

I wish I knew, but I don't. I wouldn't mind a free plant. All I can say is it looks like it has sargentianum and longifolium in it. Other than that, I don't know.

..... well that narrowed it down!

Ok, after an interesting discussion about dominance and expression of genes in the Phragmipedium breeding, start in on with the possible misidentification of Sargeant Eric x caudatum v. warscewiczianum...
= 50% popowii + 25% sargentianum + 12,5% besseae + 12,5% longifolium...
I did mention than at the rate of 12,5% we are loosing the dominant characters.

Ok, I did say than the 3 crosses where using color dominant species;
After few tries from the braves, let see what it is;

No 1: Is using Phragmipedium schlimii, it is Brainteaser = sargentianum x Calurum = 50% sargentianum + 37,5% longifolium + 12,5 schlimii
The two dominants here are sargentianum and longifolium, very close to Sorcerer’s Apprentice = 50% sargentianum + 50% longifolium.
Don’t ask why I name it that way, it tells by itself... It was teasing my understanding and my expectations...

 

[goldenrose]

:rollhappy:The name is an EXCELLENT choice!

 

[SlipperFan]

I agree -- Puzzlement is another name you should use sometime...

I wanted to see what Brainteaser looked like again, but the pic is gone! I can't find any more pics. Could you put it back up, or send it to PhragWeb? It's not there either.
