They are very mysterious and interesting. Comparing with
the two results,(Phrag. besseae x Paph. micranthum, Photo bellow)&(Phrag.
besseae x Paph. malipoense), we can get some interesting results,
isn't it ? He used Phrag. besseae as a mother plant for the both
breedings. From the results of them, we can not find any character
of Phrag. besseae and Paph. micranthum or malipoense in their
flowers and you might recognize the mistakes in breeding or in
flasking. Look at the flowers. They are very similar ones. They
made mistakes twice at the different occasion or transferred
the similar hybrids but different ones, do you think ? Some one
might say ' These flower may be ( Parvisepalum x Cochropetalum
). But the flowers of these crosses are not ( Parvisepalum x
Cochropetalum ). These are similar of flowers, ( Brachypetalum
x Cochropetalum ) in truth from our experiences. From the results
of flowers, they are not concern with the both parents recorded.
As I mentioned before, the two results are similar. When we have
one results only, we will be able to say that it must be a mistake.
But now, we can not say so simply. Considering and comparing
these results, we can say as follows, 1) It is very difficult
to make mistake in his breeding. 2) It is very difficult to bring
the mistake into their flasking because they might make mistakes
2 times in 2 occasions. Furthermore, the mistake is not the same
one. 3) The both flowers looks like other flowers that might
not be concerning their record but are similar ( Brachypetalum
x Cochropetalum ). Especially, the stripes on dosal sepal and
shape of pouch is very different from them of the both parents.
4) But we can not identify the differences of pollen's parents.
Because when Paph. micranthum was used as a farther pollen, the
flower is pink type on the other hand, when Paph. malipoense
was used as a pollen parents, the flower is green type. 5) The
characters about hairs on staminode of ( besseae x micrathum
) is similar one of Phrag. besseae and the characters about color
of staminode of ( besseae x malipoense ) is similar ones from
the results using malipoense for breeding as one of parents.
In truth, we have to wait the results from scientific technique
in future but we have to consider from the results because we
can not wait until the time. So, I want to propose that we can
not deny simply in these results and that we recognize the flower
of ( Phragmipedium x Parvisepalum ) might be similar ones of
( Brachypetalum x Cochropetalum ). Can you agree ?
