    Really cool orchid. I really love this one and the color is great. I love orange! Almost reminds me of a pansy.

    A stunner !! These polyploids have so much vigor and such nice substance and lasting quality. Someone should take up a program to make all the beautiful prize winning clones into polyploids !! I myself wouldn't mind if I find some like minded people and a lot of cash LOL !

    So I see a future investor LOL hehe. I was thinking more on the lines of just converting the clones that already have awards into polyploids, but yes breeding them and remaking the crosses with polyploid parents also sounds a good idea.
