Phal bellina x Phal violacea indigo blue

[Ray]

Yes, the difference can be detected, as “mom” (mitochondrial) DNA passes on specific traits that are not acquired from the “dad” DNA. If you see a parent/offspring match in that gene, you’ve established the parenthood.

Because of that, I agree that A x B is not the same as B x A and should have its own grex name, but that isn’t the way those things are tracked.

So, a man-made cross of bellina and violacea is “Samera” when made in either direction, and technically, a wild collected version of either cross would be “X Samera”
