Variegated randsii seedling

[ehanes7612]

well, its not the best pic..took it under the HPS light...leaves are actually darkish green. The seedling is one of 20 of a flask from sam's breeding...it measures about 4 inch LS..its growing pretty well, not the best but not the worst...in the middle as compared to the other plants

Nice variegations! If it grows up maybe you could sell it for high prices since it is a sport!

They look healthy!

I hope you have better luck with the paph than I had with two variegated phrags. I grew them for years before they bloomed. When a bud would form in line with a variegation stripe on the spike , the bud would be varigatied and the resulting flower would be deformed. Needless to say, they both went into the compost.

Interesting...but better you then me. To wait ten years and then bloom a mule...disappointing.

well, thats hardly a good reason not to grow this plant and cherish its potential...

If the flowers are "normal" then it could be a good surprise to have variegated leaves.
Here I have a variegated charlesworthii but not in bloom yet (next year).

good luck!

If I remember right it was a variegated Paph. insigne. I saw the ad in an old issue of Orchids or Orchid Digest.

You must be young....I don't have that kind of time. and its a prefectly good reason to not grow this clone.

Interesting variegation! Will be interesting to watch and see if the variegation stays stable and consistant on the new growth, or if the new growth will revert to solid green.

Yeah, it's MUCH better to buy a mature plant and discover it's a mule...

yes I remember that from searching online. It had normal blooms.

and then later someone in the united states was offering variegated insigne for sale.

It would be cheaper in the long run your way Ray!

YAY!! i love old, crotchety, budget minded orchid growers who only see disappointment in potential ...its a great balance to all the enthusiasm generated on this forum

as they say, one man's meat is another man's poison......

 

[goldenrose]

ouch! Tough crowd on this thread! It's too bad that a variegated plant = ugly bloomer in some's opinion. Lots of plants are grown for their foliage, this could be one of then or possibly a bonus! Good Luck ehanes!
