jim how about some background - where are they from, how long have you had them, what plans to breed on? had a great time looking at the pedigrees of these...Do you have a photo of your Another Hunter? Global Harmony sure is a lovely grex.

background

Tim,Global Harmony was a cross made by Rod Mackinney of Mackinneys Nursery here in Brisbane.---The seedlings were labeled as --Warrawong x (Mildred Hunter x Thule x x Trinadad) .---One flowered in a 3 inch pot(`Marie's Treasure) so I purchased it and another half a dozen seedlings.Two have received AM (`Classic` and `Oasis`) and some of the others are promising .---Oasis went on to win Australian Orchid Hybrid of the Year in 1998.---I have used `Oasis` and `Maries Treasure` in my breeding but most of them are still to flower.
From left are`Bin`---`Maries Treasure`---`RSN`---`TY`-and`Oasis`.

[tim]

a beautiful group, and apparently very high-percentage cross...i wonder who else has seedlings. i assumed since you registered the cross the parents were yours, and was interested in the Another Hunter because all those parents - Mildred Hunter, Thule, and Trinidad are pretty poorly shaped flowers.

parents

Tim The cross was made by mackinneys nursery and by the time the seedlings flowered mildred hunter x Thule x Trinadad had passed away.--I do have the Warrawong in my collection and I think the good genes came from it.(Winston Churchill x Keelat)

[tim]

yes I saw the photo - I am totally unfamiliar with Keelat as well, but the Warrawong is very nicely colored.

Did Joyce Spence make the cross of Magnetic North or was that someone else?

It's a shame you can't get US material and vice versa...

Keelat

Keelat (Etta x John Keeling) was used in Australia for its good spotting.I had a plant but lost it.
Joyce Spence gave me her records when she sold her collection and they read.
8-8-73 Magnetic North ---seedling from Wondabah Orchids .
4-11-83 received approval from Ratcliffe to register the cross.
So it was a Ratcliffe cross.
