Can't find any info on Blc. Joe var. 'Joe Hill's Friend'

[Bulbofett]

I purchased a back bulb of a Lc. Bonanza 'Casecard'. I saw an Lc. Bonanza 'Orchidheights' and fell in love with all things Bonanza (Bracey). So naturally when I saw this orchid on Ebay I snatched it up.

The seller is also giving me a backbulb piece of a Blc. Joe (Bryce Canyon x Norman's Bay) var. "Joe Hill's Friend". I can't find any info on this particular clone.

Here is what the seller said about it though "This a gorgeous flower; original div from Fenders Flora an Joe Graefizi's collection."

I have no idea who Joe is, Google didn't really help, but I'm guessing that's who the clone is named for. Any help would be superb!



Here's a pic of the Bonanza 'Casecard'

Joe Grezaffi has been the originator and registrant of nearly 400 orchid hybrids (including Rlc. Joe) from 1971 through the present. A search for Grezaffi Orchids with this correct spelling could be productive.

Thank you!

Sounds like he was a pioneer in the orchid world. I'm going to keep my eye out for more of his hybrids.
