Hi Peter and all,

Considering its color variations, how do you expect this clone to breed concerning color? My gut is that flowers will be of a consistent color with red being dominant, but this is just a gut feeling looking through former crosses using similar speciosa as a parent. Do you also feel this plant would make a better pod or pollen parent because of its inconsistent (but truly lovely) color patterning.

Hi Christian, I haven't used this cultivar for breeding. Currently I'm waiting to bloom hybrids made with Phal Tying Shin Fly Eagle 'Long' AM/AOS. It has better form, and color is consistently red - not fluctuate by light and temperature. My goal in these hybrids are to have more floriferous reds

Without experiment, I do not know what specific plant to pair with to get more progeny that exhibit this random color patterning. For example, if pair with species violacea/bellina that tend to spread out color - the progeny likely to have solid color.
