keikis on keikis on keikis
WNeptune, I find your comment very intriguing but not sure I understand it
fully? If one has a white form of an orchid flower, cloned to itself, only then should it be termed as "alba"? Cheers Wendy (confused?) "WNeptune" wrote in message ... Subject: keikis on keikis on keikis I just have to comment on the term Den kingianum var "alba". Alba clones in kingianum are just as uncommon as alba clones in other species, and are actually quite rare. Most so called albas when selfed produce 85% colored forms. I do not like to see the term alba used unless the plant has been proven to be an alba by selfing, and instead referred to as a white form. This becomes of importance to anyone wishing to do any hybridizing if an "alba" is truly needed in the cross. |
