SVO siblings
Yeah, I know I have posted on this subject before. Since I have invested heavily in SVO seedlings (buying from 2-6 of whatever I am interested in), I keep encountering some amazing differences.
First up is (Rlc. William Farrell 'Native Son' x Rth. Love Sound '6-1'). The first 3 plants to bloom, all had cream colored flowers; number 4 was open when I got to the greenhouse today.
Second, I am fascinated by the potential of Ryc. Picotee Passion 'SVO'. Here flowers from seedlings of (Ryc. Picotee Passion 'SVO' x C. Tokyo Magic '6-1'). The first seedling bloomed 4 weeks ago (and is still in bloom), the second seedling was fully open today.

Wayne Roberts (Roberts Flower Supply) and Edgar Stehli (Windswept in Time Orchids) often brought in the variations from their own crosses and it was one of the highlights for me of our Orchid Society meetings (they don't seem to do that as much in the Zoom meetings).
