now here's something that isn't as common. these three pictures were taken at one of the NY shows a few years back; all are the same PRIMARY HYBRID grex and illustrate some of the variation.

[Diane]

Is one of the parents concolor?

[Jmoney]

not concolor but you are on the right track, one of its parents is a brachy (hint: the background color does not come from the brachy parent, however).

[Hoa Tony Nguyen]

Could one of the parents is malipoense? Somehow I am having a craving for something very sweet. Where is that box of my favorite candy that I bought at Marshall Field's in Chicago?
Hehehehehe!
Cheers. Hoa.

[Jmoney]

malipoense is a parent!

Hoa keep that box to yourself! and the ice cream for that matter...

[Hoa Tony Nguyen]

You know, Marshall Field's in Chicago is very famous for one of their candy ... That is what we need for Jason's another riddle!!! Hehehehe! BTW, can I have your ice cream with my candy? Hehe!
So how did I do?
Cheers. Hoa.

[Piper]

LOL - did anyone actually get any work done today???

[Hoa Tony Nguyen]

Okie, I stop checking on the site, hehehhe!

[Jmoney]

well it looks like the cat is out of the bag...Hoa, Diane, Julie all figuring out that it is Mint Chocolate, godefroyae x malipoense. The malipoense influence is clear, with the yellow-green coloration, inflated pouch, and the unique bi-color staminode.

very similar to Ma Belle (bellatulum x malipoense).

I'll go look for a harder one, no more of these easy primary grexes

[Diane]

And Hoa - -- STOP GIVING ALL THOSE HINTS!!! We want to figure out for ourselves!! (at least I do...)
