Epc. Kyoguchi & hybrids
Two years ago I bought some seedlings of Epc. Kyoguchi ('M. Sano' x self) from Exotic Orchids of Maui. The first one just bloomed. At the same time, I also have blooms on two (Epc. Kyoguchi 'Peter's Pick' x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS), which I got from Fred Clarke of SVO.
First photo is close-up of the selfing.
Second photo shows the first seedling of the hybrid to bloom, with the selfing on the side to show size difference.
Third photo shows the difference in flower stems between the two siblings.
Final photo is a close-up of the second seedling.
While the AOS judges will prefer the 2nd seedling due to the clean color, I actually prefer the darker colored 1st seedling.
