Can anyone explain the genetics of Epc. Siam Jade? The parents are C. Penny Kuroda x Epc. Vienna Woods. C. tigrina (guttata) 'Alba' is a grandparent on both sides. I understand tigrina is an rr white, as is presumable Euchile mariae. The other parent of Penny Kuroda is a run-of-the-mill white cattleya, which I would presume to be a cc white. Penny Kuroda wasn't white. Its most famous clone was 'Spots.' How did Siam Jade get to be pure green and white?
Of course the whole genealogy could be false. The lip on Siam Jade is laciniated, which looks like the influence of Rhyncholaelia digbyana. Where did that come from?
