re: SCARLET BUTTERFLY

Hello Chris,

Not a 1/4 bred, I think.  The pod parent was 'Butterfly Wings'.  
This name was registered as TB by C.G. White.  The White rhizome 
that was sold as 'Butterfly Wings' didn't match the registered 
description and was sold as a quarterbred, not a TB.  Apparently the 
TB was never distributed.  'BW' has been an interesting parent.  
Roberto Marucchi posted some good photos of it in May '03, '02, 
and '01.  Other interesting offspring of 'Butterfly Wings' include 
STRIPED BUTTERFLY, RED BUTTERFLY and OLIVE ORCHID all via different 
TB pollen routes.  Roberto Marucchi also posted a seedling (maybe 
two) using STRIPED BUTTERFLY as a parent.  The photos of it and I 
believe a seedling using 'Butterfly Wings' are posted in May and 
June '01.  Used with the right parent, it seems 
the 'stripes', 'lines' or 'veins' by any name transmit to the 
descendants.  Roberto, in fact, posted some quite nice seedlings 
altogether and always interesting ones.
