I have a few Paphiopedilum Hsinying Alien (the tag will normally say Raisin Pie x Supersuk) that I have collected over the years.
There were everywhere in the flower shop here in the city about 5 years ago, at least that's when I first saw them.
I bought a whole bunch for fun because there were so cheap.
I gave them all away.
Then I saw them the next year with the same tag, a lot of them!
I even bought one from Trader Joe's while vacationing in Northern California a couple of years ago!
Then again, I saw a vendor at a show over a year ago had them too, but all vini, one of which I bought and turned to be my favorite!
Anyways, this makes me wonder about this hybrid.
How many flasks (say each flask contains about 20-30 seedlings) can be made from a given cross? I'm sure it varies but a very willing cross for an example.
Or is it possible that Chin Hua, who is the originator of this cross, continue to make seed capsules from the same parent each year and make flasks?
Or is this tag just leftovers that are used by some irresponsible vendors who does not give a crap?
I see the same about this album cross with the tag saying (makuli-curtisii)-Maudiae x Maudiae'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS x Sib.
I have seen lots and lots of plants with this tag coming out in the market every year from at least five or six years ago, just like the above cross.
Anyone know the truth about these two??
