    Question Genetics 102

    I have a question, not so much as to name, etc., but to genetics or growth habits...or maybe it is growing techniques. The pics are of two "different" plants; pics 1 & 2 are of the same and 3 & 4 are the same. The 1st looks like a miniture multifloral with flowers on short spikes about 1.5" and the 2nd has 2 spikes with flowers about 3.5". Their colors are similar and probably due to having a common parent like Phal Everspring King. I understand there is no way to determine what's what without going back to the breeder and getting specifics, but in general can growing techniques influence the size, quantity and quality of the flowers or is it the "genetics" of each plant? Oh, by the way, if anyone has a clue as to names....GREAT!
