Many thanks Leslie.Flower is excellent but leaf pattern disturbes me, it is very different at wardiis.Another thing is not typicaI is rose end of petals.I feel I must face with the same problem what I can see at so called sanderianums although most of them are sanderianum x MK backcrossings.Any opinion?
The leaves of wardii can range in pattern. Here below I show the various wardiis I have:
I would say that the flower is within the range of what I see for wardii, I've bloomed a lot and have an HCC, two AMs, and that FCC you are trying to knock off. Size is only 10 points though...
Your wardiis are pretty amazing. Mine can only aspire to be like your FCC.Heh... At least a couple of those wardii are mine.
What is the most striking to me is the lessened amount of brown/red brown in the petals, many clones have darker backgrounds over 2/3 or more of the distal petal. I suspect what looks pink at the tips would look more typical if the color stretched up more proximally. A lot of room for personal opinion there. Some people like very dense, fine spotting and color in the petals, some people like a less dense pattern. It has a really nice pouch in my opinion. That is what I noticed first.
Thanks Emydura.
Istvan, I actually learnt through that exercise too. I had to go back and look at the plant and flower, do book comparisons and conduct online research. Was anxiously fun lol.
