Virgil is actually Vf Virgil, vanda cristata and Neof falcata. It was made
by Bartley Schwartz of Highland Tropicals in Half Moon Bay down the
peninsula from San Fran. Bartley was the Bartley of Miltdm Bartley Schwartz
and who also made Masd Dean Haas as well as any number of great hybrids. He
really had a good eye for breeding and didn't just work in one alliance. He
passed away a few years ago, too early, and his collection went into decline
while the heirs decided what to do with them. I'm pretty sure Dennis Olivas
of D&D Flowers took over what didn't die or get virused in the transition.
I only mention this becasue I was just talking about him with Dennis and we
were commiserating over the loss of his eye to the orchid breeding world.
Bartley had talent.

Oh, that's nice. Luscious color. Looking at the shape of the lip, I wonder
if there's some cristata in that.

This is one of my selections from a compot of V Virgil '#2' X Asco
curvifolium I purchased probably about 10 years ago. The selection was
difficult but not for this one.
