Bc. Back-cross?
Just captured an orchid image whose tag began with "Bc.". Web search turned up the following example:
":...made by backcrossing Brassavola nodosa into Brassocattleya Morning Glory...Brassocattleya Wonder Star = Brassavola nodosa x Brassocattleya Morning Glory".
Why would the resulting hybrid not have a new name?
Had not heard of backcrossing. But does that mean that a hybrid is back-crossed into itself? Does that make sense? Seems a bit convoluted, or perhaps, incestuous?
