Please vote for your favorite. Or who to cross with who?

Ooooh, Ooooh!! :drool:

 

[fibre]

Wow! #2-5!!

 

[Camellkc]

Exotic complex!!

 

[labskaus]

All of them are good, but the henryanum cross is just my flavour. Wow!

I even like the one at the bottom which is not a real orchid.

Of all the flowers, I would keep hybridizing with the uppermost (armeniacum cross?). Colour is awsome and the outline of the flower is nice. But, a complex flower should have a pouch like a complex flower, not like a parvi. I would try to breed out that pouch but retain the colour, likely by using another yellow. But then, would this armeniacum cross be useful in producing some glowing gold-orange flowers?

Ooooh, Ooooh!! :drool:

Yeah, that icy green Maudiae-type with the broad petals... :drool:

 

[Chicago Chad]

I would like to see the pale Maudiae on something like bellatulum album.

Uppermost is actually 1/4 malipoense. Agreed we will keep breeding that to "conventional" greens.

Interesting idea. We will give it a try when an alba bellatulum or Psyche shows up. No guarantee of course that the albinism will line up.

who to cross with who?

Any of the above by the below plant.

I'm all for nice spots on a shapely flower. I think the last one (of the 3 first pics above) would be good for color. I don't like the shape of the spotted one at all but those spots are so lovely. Breeding some form into it would be great.

 

[Carkin]

Number 4 is my absolute favourite!

 

[Erythrone]

1 and 11 are my favorites.

I also love the Odontoglossum hybrid!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Three, than two and last but not least five. I don't like the last complex at all, sorry about that :-( John do you have or are you doing any breeding with the two species armeniacum and micranthum. Now, I'm talking about sibs not crosses. The reason I ask is I see lots of imports that in reality comes from China. I also see a few, but considerable less coming from Tiawan. My goal is to really learn to grow and bloom these guys.

love number 2, please cross it with #1

what is the name of #2?

 

[Ozpaph]

some truly great flowers, there

 

[SlipperFan]

Ooooh, Ooooh!! :drool:

Yup! This one. :clap:

 

[Leo_5313]

I love the spotted one...to cross with another spotted one.

 

[Migrant13]

#3 and #13.
