Pod parent: MAIN SQUEEZE (Michaels 2015 intro registered in 2014) ML-L 38" DOR 8" Crispate Unusual Form with petals that pinch at the edge of the halo and tightly quilled sepals. Clear orchid with a deeper halo over a yellow to green throat with 1-2 laterals under a terminal "W" and an average of 25 buds per scape. Very fertile both ways, it clumps up rapidly and remarkably symmetrically. Makes relatively narrow fans. Seedling NNWSH-12 (NINA NINA WOLVERINA X SCISSORHANDS).
Pollen parent: MYTHPERCEPTION (Michaels 2007) M 32" DOR 8" light peach cream with pale pinkish gray chevron eye that gives the illusion of being water soaked, chartreuse throat. Crispate Unusual Form diploid with pinched petals and sepals that quill at the throat. One lateral and 19 buds, it can lean until established. Outer scapes on a large clump will also lean out a bit, allowing the clump to take on an impressive Chrysanthemum-like dome shape covered with uncrowded blooms, a case where a bit of lean is an asset. Medium green leaves, it's a fast increaser making average sized fans. Only minimally pod fertile for me (but Nina Lapierre has had lots of success), the pollen is strong and it passes interesting eyes. Grandfather of MOTH WING CONFETTI. (PRAGUE SPRING X SCRAMBLED LEGS).
