Onc. Heaven Scent 'sweet baby' parentage question
I'm still relatively new to orchids, so bear with me. My plant started to spike the other day. I'm curious how long the spikes will get and how long it will take to finally bloom. I also have orchid wiz so I looked up its parentage. I find the length of time orchids take to mature pretty fascinating.
So here's the question. If I started from flasks and perfect growing conditions. How many plants and how long would it take to recreate this plant from scratch.
37% Onc. orinthorhynchum
25% Onc. fuscatum
18.8% Onc. leucochilum
12.5% Onc. powellii
6.3% Onc. altissimum
to get Sharry Baby
1st gen - (altissimum and leucochilum)= Moir
2nd gen - (Moir and leucochilum) = Honolulu and (powellii and orinthorhynchum) = Jamie Sutton
3rd gen - (Jamie Sutton and Honolulu)=Sharry Baby
4th gen - Sharry baby
to get Ruffles
1st gen - (orinthorhynchum and fuscatum) = Ruffles
2nd gen - Ruffles
Sharry Baby+Ruffles=Heaven Scent

Reason: needed to make a correction on the plants
