Odbrs. Fangtastic Bob Henley 'HOF Octopus'
Just bought this one from Trader Joe's, which is a great place for
orchid bargains if you have one nearby, but I'm having trouble untangling the name. Can't find it on the RHS site. Can anyone enlighten me? Tom |

Can anyone enlighten me? Tom Odbrs Fangtastic Bob Henley registered by Norman's Orchids in 1999. It is Brs. Rex x Odbrs Kenneth Bivin Brs. Rex is 1/2 Brs gireodiana x Brs verucosa Odbrs Kenneth Bivin is Brs longissima x Odm cariniferum Thus it is exactly 1/4 each - Brassia gireoudiana and Brs longissima and Brs verrucosa last quarter is Odm cariniferum. So now tell us what it looks like? OH.. 'HOF Octopus' is not showing on my Wildcatt as an awarded clone. Does octopus really describe the flower? SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
