What I was trying to say in a roundabout way Kathy, is that my madidum may
not be the species madidum as it doesn't look
like the flower in J Pfahl's orchidpedia.

'Harry' is the only awarded clone of Fifi. I guess it got an Award of
Quality back in 1964. Usually AQs are given for new ideas in breeding.
Mostly I recognize a madidum cross for having long pendant inflorescences
with a lot of space between the blooms. I'll ask around to see if Fifi
was awarded for this trait. Or for having clear colors. Kinda funny that
England Rose put the spots back onto the lip.

I could handle that!
I was just going to post this one of Cym Fifi 'Harry' along with Cym
madidum.
Dave down under made a comment about madidum being in the cross.
I have since looked at pics of Cym. madidum & they are not like mine.
Dang!
