Andy recently mentioned a Lycasteria as never
having bloomed. He is almost right Lycaste Darius was grown by Marie Riopelle
under a bench when after 20 years of growing it it actually bloomed. They took
it to judging and received a Jc/Aos for their efforts (Jim and Marie). This was
probably when Andy was in our region. My friend Bob Hull crossed a Zygopetalum
Artur Elle with Lycaste skinneri alba which made Zygocaste Northwest Passage (An
exceptional cross! ). I think that anything in this group is probably
compatable, but few breeders have the inclination or the desire to make them. I
myself am a little reluctant to make a 1000 plants that will probably fill a 1
gallon container when mature.
Sincerely
David Morris
President Clackamas Orchids
PS: The stories of Andy in our region are legion,
but I did not become a Judge until long after he left.They are also
positive.
