| Kevin if I have no intention of ever showing an orchid, does it make a difference if it is a clone?? Is their a difference in the health and hardiness of a plant if it is a copy versus a species??
I'm asking because with a house full of pets, by far the healthiest are my mixed breeds. Line breeding of the purebreds certainly magnifies any genetic problems present in the line.
I guess I am really asking two questions: Are mixed breed orchids more hardy? (like animals) AND Is a clone less hardy then the original parent??
