Hello everyone!
Years ago I read that the late C. G. White (father
of modern arilbreds) said that pinks and plicatas were,
he felt, compatible with arils and arilbreds. I never got around to
trying out that theory until a couple of years ago. Now I am glad I gave
it a try. The seedling shown below is from a cross of an RC (regelia and
oncocyclus hybrid) and a TB. The parentage: (Dardanus X Change of
Pace). Change of Pace is a Schreiner plicata with pink standards and white
falls with a wide rose band. I used the RC as the pod parent because one
has a better chance of the seedling having aril characteristics. I'm
really proud of the outcome! (I'll try to get a better photo when it is
not raining.)
