Keith,

Is SLC Marion Fitch " La Tuilerie" the same as SLC Marion Fitch (slc
radicans x lc redskin).


Yes, "La Tuilerie" is a clone of the Slc Marion Fitch cross (grex), which

was
mass produced and marketed with that clonal name. At the time, there would

have
been other clones of the grex; however, I would guess "La Tuilerie" may be

the
only clone still around. Slc. Marion Fitch was registered in 1969 by Ralph
Kiesewetter of NY. Ralph was also the hybridizer of record.

BTW, Slc Marion Fitch is Slc Radians (not radicans) x Lc. Redskin.

Radians is
Slc Isabella Royal x C. Princess Royal registered in 1925 by Charlesworth.
Awards search did not find any awards to Slc Marion Fitch, so "La

Tuilerie" is
not an awarded clonal name. FWIW, our still hurricane fogged mind vaguely
recalls "La Tuilerie" was one of the clonal names used by Vacherot &

LeCoufle,
of France, on their awarded orchids.
