The Manitoba Orchid Society show will be held this upcoming weekend (March 26 through 28) and a friend intends to enter this plant, but she is a bit puzzled as to category and I was wondering if any of you had any thoughts on the subject.
It is Shirley Amundson, a primary hybrid (hookerae X acmodontum), and our show has the following choices for primary hybrid paphs:
32 white
33 green/yellow
34 bronze/mahogany
35 red/pink
36 other colors/vinicolors
Obviously, it's not white. I also tend to rule out green, in spite of a goodly bit of green at the base of the laterals. The pouch could be called bronze/mahogany. Obviously, it could be called pink, since the laterals are quite bright pink. If those were the only choices that's (35) what I'd tell her to enter as. It's the "other" colors that I'm wondering about. Clearly, it isn't vini, but I'm wondering if "other" colors is something used for a flower not neatly fitting into any one category.
