No, Virgil, I am not commercial. I am just a collector, although sometimes friends ask for pieces of my plants and then I may sell or trade. I grow 2,000 orchids more or less.
As for bicolor, I have maybe three or four varieties besides the type, let me see: brasiliensis, minasgeraisensis, punctata, green, and one singular clone, the one I posted first here this year (brasiliensis) which opens regular and a week or so later the brown color of the sepals and petals turns into a beautiful green, clearly showing several spots, and the lip becomes light pink, almost white. This transformation already began and in one or two days more I can photograph it to post.
