Can you test this plant for chromosome number?
It is possible that you already have a 4n clone from this cross with this plant given the aneuploid nature of the FS parent. Triploids do produce the odd 2n gamete.

Yes, it is possible that it is already a 4N, sometimes when you cross a 3N with a 4N parent, a certain percentage, will end up as 4N plants. And yes, next time I do chromosome staining, I will add some roottips from this plant to count the chromosomes

This is all very interesting, Robert.....and educational....and exciting! Thanks for the info and I wish you great success with this line of breeding in the future. This is a real winning hybrid cross! You're doing some really great work! Congratulations.

BTW: Robert, have you been sibbing your kovachiis and treating some to make 4n plants? Can we look forward to some 4n kovachii coming down the pipeline? Thanks.

Thanks John!

And to answer your second question, YES, we have, and Yes they will ,although if we get any first generation ones, they will probably be used for our breeding work only, but once there is a second generation, I am sure they will come on the market..

Love it! Can't wait for the next batch to come out!!!
And man that Fritz 'Peach Perfect' is awesome.

Excellent news! It's hard to imagine a bigger kovachii with flatter, rounder petals and thick substance and more saturated colour. Wow!

 

[cnycharles]

it looks like a besseae that's been poofed for the cover of cosmopolitan magazine

and the last pic is really nice, too

Fantastic flower, with great results!

An update on the flower measurements (It has grown since I first measured it!)

NS: 9.5 cm
Petal Width: 3.5 cm

I don't know about the cross in general, but this particular plant is fabulous! Outstanding form and color!

 

[Drorchid]

Some new pictures I took this morning, showing the colors a little more accurately. The first pictures, the flower colors looked a little too much saturated.





and finally for scale, me and me..

Robert, is this the same plant that you posted a while ago in another thread about this cross or is this another one of the same batch. I didn't do a search yet but I thought you posted the flavum one also. Is that correct or was it something else I am thinking of?

This is the same plant that flowered earlier (so thus far we have only bloomed one plant out of this cross). This time the flower was a lot larger. Here is the post when it bloomed the first time:

And yes, you are correct, I also did the same cross, using a Fritz Schomburg (made with a besseae flavum) crossed back to a besseae flavum. Here is that post:

Did you also remade the cross using the bessea flavum? (please say yes..)

unclear what you mean, but yes, I crossed Fritz Schomburg flavum x besseae flavum. They all came out yellow!

You said that you remade the RJ-Q recently and I was wondering if the one made with the flavum was also remade.

 

[John M]

What is "RJ-Q"?

That is funny. Actually my nick name in college was RJQ
