'Rescue' orchid spiking!
Got a new spike coming up on my 75% off 'rescue' from the bargain table. Its tag reads Dtps. Orglades 'Bear Hug' x Bonbori. Can't wait. It *should* be a large white 'moth' type, correct? Tracey |

The registered name of that parent is Dtps Orglade's Bear Hug and the other is Phal Bonbori. I checked my Wildcatt for a registered name. But I don't show the cross has been registered. Neither of the parents have awards. Phal Bonbori is 40% amabilis, 43% rimestadiana, 15% aphrodite, and about 1.5% schilleriana according to Wildcatt. But is rimestadiana a synonym for amabilis? One reference I have suggests it is. Dtps Orglade's Bear Hug is 34% rimestadiana and 36% amabilis. 14% aphrodite and 4.5% each of pulcherima, equestris, sanderiana, with just a dash of stuartiana and schilleriana. Now both of these hybrids are 3 or 4 generations away from a species so any one or all of these assumptions could be wrong. What fun. I do agree you are probably looking at a white.

You're probably right about the color.
Both have a lot of amabilis and rimestadiana in them, and while Orglade's Bear Hug (note lack of quotes) does have a smattering of other species like schilleriana, equestris, pulcherrima, and stuartiana, they're from way back and probably haven't altered the appearance much. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!
