Have you decided which area in San Francisco you're going to live? I suggest that you look for a house in Golden Gate, that is, if you want to live near the bay and the bridge. By the way, where have you been living before you plan on moving in to SF? For sure, you would need to hire the services of professional movers to transport your stuff.Tyrone Obeyhttp://www.1mastermovers.com/move_options.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-42253485496797780212012-09-17T15:41:10.352-04:002012-09-17T15:41:10.352-04:00Looks great Kevin.

Madison Falls are fertile, as hybridizing between them can help to create a floriferous, fragrant mini tracy. <br /><br />Do you have a particularly red form of tracyanum to cross with suave? It'd be a follow-along cross per Madison Falls, but might also improve floriferousness of the mini tracies.<br /><br />KevinKevinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176593126935799006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-75505515542581798902011-03-26T01:26:30.535-04:002011-03-26T01:26:30.535-04:00Hey Kev,

I didn't come up with that name, it was self imposed. <br /><br />Have you tried C. Ken Siew? It is a primary hybrid of C. tracyanum and C. erythraeum. It is a much smaller plant with thinner leaves. It will bloom well in a 6" pot. The flowers are smaller than C. tracyanum but they are highly fragrant. They also last longer. <br /><br />Maybe we need to start working on miniature C. tracyanum hybrids? <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ChuckieChuckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149888748240852041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-33070391458776626872011-02-14T21:29:03.790-05:002011-02-14T21:29:03.790-05:00Hey Kevin, Great photos.

"Sepal pelorism" seems to occur in about 50% of the progeny when bred against a non-peloric parent. When two peloric clones are bred together there appears to be more severe pelorism. It's avoided in breeding phals and catts as the distortions become "unaesthetic". Pelorism seems to fall into a pattern of "incomplete dominance" and most are bred using one non-peloric parent. I have often wondered if the "instability" noted in some cases is due to chimerism where only some of the cells carry the mutation so only part of the raceme is affected or it varies from year to year depending on which cells give rise to the flowers. Such chimeric tisse may die out if not carried on into the meristem in the next growth cycle.KenSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-30035586982294350442010-06-14T19:51:11.558-04:002010-06-14T19:51:11.558-04:00OrchidWiz lists KS as a pod parent 20X and seed pa...OrchidWiz lists KS as a pod parent 20X and seed parent only 8X. When I looked at the pollen of KS'BO', it did not look at all bright yellow like one would normally expect, but instead was difficult to remove and had green-brown tissue along the edges. I don't know if this means the pollen spoils quickly or matures slowly, but I think this may explain why KS is more often used as a pod parent.KevinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176593126935799006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-36968183465843230752010-06-14T06:33:30.423-04:002010-06-14T06:33:30.423-04:00Gday Kevin

I have seen this as well on mine and other people's normally non sepal peloric cymbidiums. I believe this to be more related to weather conditions - we are in the San Francisco Bay Area. But it did happen on a Cym. Crackerjack 'Midnight' and a friends's orange cym. Neither plant has bloomed in subsequent years with sepal peloricism. If you wish to do some hybridization for the genetic trait of sepal peloricisim, I would recomend using Cym. Cleo's Melody 'Freakout' progeny. 1st and 2nd generation progeny have produced several registered hybrids. Although Cym. Ison's Wild Thing is a first generation progeny of CM 'FO', it has not produced viable seed from a few hybridizers, theorizing that IWT may be a 3N, while CMFO is believed to be a 4N. However, there are probably some seedling cyms that bloomed with genetically sepal petals - it would be interesting to see if it has the suscess of passing on that unique gene.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891007731862998714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675983010901518793.post-25034876401162967032009-06-21T18:46:00.785-04:002009-06-21T18:46:00.785-04:00so nice!!so nice!!Haizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510803085614589627noreply@blogger.com
