Te Velvet Fantasy I bought last year from Bluebird ~~ I sold leaves and gave some away, and put down leaves. As I took them off even more grew back faster.
The plans were $9.95 then and a leaf was I think $4.95
They went down this year :((
I then sold the plant ~ Mean while I have grown about a dozen plants from my leaves I've shared all free ~
And so my plants, plants I shared and leaves I shared pay for themsleves ....Just a long time of care and growing.
Did you see the picture first plant on Bluebird Green house.
Barkhatnaia Fantaziia (Boris Makuni)
" Velvet Fantasy" Single/semidouble red-orchid large star with wavy edge and blue fantasy. Dark green foliage. Standard.
The Rusian Snow Leopard I had ordered a leaf they were out of.
Instead of credit I aksed them to just please send any other Russian leaf. This one they were not selling yet so I had no info on it nor what it would look like until I fount it on AVSA Russian web pictures. Then about a month or so ago Bluebirds started to sell the plant ~
Not I know of does it sport ? But who knows. They say one of every hundred leaves put down Sport. Fantasy's are least stable thought Fantasy's sport to Chimeras a lot !
Have you looked at the Registered Sport list latly ? The link is in our Sticky and in AVSA web sight. Some Russian plants that have Sported and been registered have been added and some other plants. Not all registered sports are in here but they are asking people to do so. And if you have a Sport to look here first as it may have already been named. Lot'sof plants have Sported to 2-3 different registered named plants. Rob's nd Ma's ve a lot of registered SPORTS> If ind the list very interesting. if one of my plants Sport I check the list to see if it is there and it's name.
I like white flowers Av's and have a few very magical ones.
