Disa tripetaloides |
17th June 2012
My own seedlings, flowering for the first time. D.aurata x D.tripetaloides. I was hoping for some variability
and perhaps for flowers in shades of pale yellow. Perhaps it isn't surprising that in the first generation they are all very similar.
The flowers open a rather creamy white but rapidly fade. They seem to be rather vigorous and if I could find an especially good one
then I would have selected it but so far there is no distinctive difference.
The next generation are already germinating and should be a lot more variable.
First raised by H.Koopowitz and registered in 1994. I used Disa aurata as the seed parent because I don't have Harold Koopowitz' confidence - I wanted to be completely sure
that D. aurata was involved and I hadn't accidentally selfed D. tripetaloides !

All of the seedlings have been very similar and I keep wanting to keep them, so I have too many. This is the one I refer to as "best yellow".
