28 blooms on three spikes, very compact habit, petite blooms, must be a very interesting parent.

I have a weakness for anything bred from Tussock 4n. Not everyone has space like Ockers, Kiwis, Bockies and Californians. I have a serious hobby and commercial interest in more compact plants. Will make both pendulous and hopefully one that will be upright. In fact you´ve just given me an idea.....

Nice! Compact upright progeny would be very desirable. IMHO.

UPRIGHT? That maybe where the Master is headed. Although I hear he has a spring in his step following the big win by his friend Michael Moroney 12 days ago in Melbourne. I am still trying to send the clip MrCym. And as BelegC says, this is a nice orchid.

Nigel, l get little racing news here. Did Mike win another big race? He is a wonderful trainer, learned a lot from his late father, Denny Moroney.
