In reply to Gary, yes both parents are NHO bred.

Bert Ruiter X Freya Isobel Jones. (Well you did mention that FIJ was important for warmth tolerant breeding)

No but every flower was used for pollen or crossing on one spike, the other five were cut, one evaluated for keeping quality (excellent).

Another tip: the person that the second parent is named after is still alive but does not live in the US.

I understand Joe Biden is in the Middle East, but not sure whether he's still alive.

I don't think Andy would be naming an orchid after him Sabre, and besides he still lives in the US - sort of.

Well a Mem. Joseph Biden would be welcomed!

Looks like it is time for another clue Andy.

The second name is of a person who lives in the same country as the parental species of his namesake plant.
