Hi everyone,
I received this email inquiry from a student in Singapore about the
possibility of multi-petaled orchids. My botany skills are not strong enough
to compose a cogent and informed reply, so I am hoping someone out in OGD
land would be willing to assist this student.
The student's name and email address are at the end.
Thanks!

Dear Sir/Madam
I am impressed and is very facinated by your website
about orchids. I am currently studying in the National Institute of
Education (Singapore). I have a question and would really appreciate if you
could help me answer it in detail because I need it for my Genetics report.
My question: As we all know, there are multi-petals flowers everywhere e.g
rose. They exist either in wild type or through mutations. However, to date,
we cannot find any multi-petal orchids. Why orchids cannot have
multi-petals? Is it possible to clone a multi-petal orchids?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks
