Hello...I was wondering if any of the cattleya breeders or hobbists of cattleya that just "know" stuff might be able to help me establish what influences of two orchids- B. digbyana and/or C. bicolor might have on 3 nearly identical orchid crosses. First let me list the crosses.
1.) Blc. Village Chief North " Green Genius"
( C. Village Chief Cuba x Blc. Mem. Helen Brown)
( Lc. Edgard Van Belle x C. intermedia)=C. Village
Chief Cuba
2.) Blc. Yen Corona "Green Genie"
( Blc. Brazilian Treasure x Blc. Mem Helen Brown )
(Batalinii x Edgard Van Belle)=Blc. Brazilian Treas.
( C. bicolor x C. intermedia)= Batalinii
3.) Rsc.(Blc.) EXO Robin's Magic
( C. Village Chief Cuba x Blc. Magic Meadow)
Blc. magic meadow = (Blc. Mem Helen Brown x B. digbyana)
The questions are...Numbers 1 and 2 virtually indentical except No. 2 has 1/8 th C. bicolor in it...No 1 does not. What is C. bicolor influence on the cross..with or without.
Also related...Numbers 1 and 3 are again virtually identical except for the addition of 1/8 of B. digbyana into the cross..How could B. digybana have and influence on the cross. Here is a link to a related thread

I have loved this orchid since I saw it at the 19th WOC..but I didnt buy it at the time. Now later, I have recently tried to acquire it only to have found it in 3 different versions of the same thing. I guess the real question I'm asking is...."Which one should I get?, which one is the "better one"? Thanks for any help you have to offer.
