Default Question about parents!

"J Fortuna" wrote in message . ..
Claude,
It just so happens that I had inquired about the parentage of a Phal Orchid
World 'Joe' on alt.binaries.pictures.orchids recently, and Susan Erickson
had responded.

(snip)
Here is Sue's response to my query:
It is Phal Malibu Imp x Deventeriana


It is 50 % amboinensis,
25% amabilis
12.5% lueddemannia
and finally 12.5% violacea.


Just be aware that those percentages are an average across the entire
population of of Phal. Orchid World. Due to the vagaries of meiotic
recombination and segregation, individual plants will have different
contributions from ancestors a couple of generations back.
