It really annoys me when people make crosses that are going to end up being aneuploid!!!

At least they clarify that it will be.

First off, the picture of that Timothy Christopher is most likely mislabeled, as all pictures I found of it were white, and the parentage is ([
equestris x
stuartiana] x
aphrodite), which means it should not have a colour anywhere near that picture, unless the Cassandra was 4n. Here is one such Timothy Christopher that I found on the internet. (
Which is clearly a picture from Paramount Orchids, just to cover my behind)

Secondly, Phal.
micholitzii, which is a parent of Gelblieber, which is (
amboinensis x
micholitzii) is known to suppress colours, which makes this kind of colour possible.
Phals certainly are a fun group to breed with!!!
