American Classic has an especially interesting lineage--Schreiner
orchid line (as in Swingtown, Diabolique, etc) X (Titan's Glory x
seedling of Navy Strut, the other parent out of Rococo). If
Schreiner orchids and blacks do ok for you, this might also. EML
here probably means very long season of bloom, as Am. Classic is
advertised as much-branched, many-budded.
I have it on order for this summer, as its parentage especially
interested me for both incorporation into dark plicata breeding and
my "purple-to-wine-to-lilac" project.
Some of the Swingtown x Romantic Evening seedlings had beard-area
patterns that suggested plicata genetics close to the surface....
Does this give you ideas? It does me.
I didn't recognize the pink/salmon amoena as anything endemic here,
by the way.
