Re: Dendrobium Anucha Flare
I am very aware of the naming processes of orchids. I think the problem here, is that Den. Anucha Flare, if you are correct in that there is only ONE existing plant of that grex, that it does not have a clonal name, which it should, if it is being cloned. What I meant by you not being able to clone a hybrid, is that you can't clone Den. Anucha Flare, but you can clone Den. Anucha Flare 'No. 1' for example. If there is only one plant of this grex around, it should have a clonal name. If someone were to remake the cross, those seedlings could all be given their own clonal names. Why does this one lone individual plant of this cross not have a clonal name? What I said, was: 'You can't mericlone a hybrid, only a specific clone.' This is entirely true. Perhaps I should have said grex instead of hybrid, but I thought that was clear enough.
Who made this cross? Perhaps they should try making it again.
