Looks like a complex, but it's a primary!
Is that because one, if not both, of its parent flowers had already been "improved" by selective breeding/crossing to changing the shape of the flower? If that is the case is it truly a primary?
Not knocking your orchid as it's beautiful. Just trying to learn.
I suppose that sooner or later someone will, through selective breeding, produce a spicerianum with a flat dorsal.
Since the cheerleaders are the ones who sell best and garner the most awards, then they're the ones you breed for. Same with dogs, cats, etc. In any hobby there's a criteria of "perfection" that is strived for. Anyone crossing sub-par plants is wasting precious bench space. It doesn't do anything for the hobby or trying to surpass the parents, either.but it is like breeding only for "cheerleaders"
