Kimberley Splash 'Tee Pee'

Post by MrCym »

I think if I see another picture of this Cym posted in Australia this Spring, I'll throw up! It's over two decades old and far too many have been cloned. Every Tom, Dick and Nancy has one or three and they're plastered over every show in the SH. Hell, its parent's grandparent was Hazel Tyers 'Santa Maria' 4n that got a Silver Medal at the World Orchid Conference in NZ back in 1990 so we've moved on a lot since then. But maybe less so in Ockerland???

It just reinforces our decision not to clone hobbyist types moving forward. Sure, we'll do lots of commercial clones under trade names but if you don't buy our cutting edge seedlings, you're never going to see any RHS-named clones!

I can safely say I don't have it. But Andy, your new agents in SA are selling plants of it on ebay, I might politely suggest they start selling your new NHO seedlings rather than decades old stuff. I have seen no sign of any newer NHO seedling for sale by them at all!

I have seen this listing on ebay.
It is advertised as in a 120mm pot, so maybe they are selling to create space.

They have only been buying my stuff, via Guest Orchids, for maybe five years! I doubt they even have clones back from a Lab by this point.

1990? That is 34 years ago. What a good memory you have for one in his middle age.
If it is not from N.H.O. then why are you wasting your time. MrCym can move you forward a generation or more and save you all that time.
