I am suprized non of them have pinnatified leaves I am guessing that is a trait that is not very common and easily lost in hybrids much like your Portei and Odora crosses non that I have seen really have deep groves into the leaves. I am suprized they look very similar to my Macrorrhiza X Amazoinica hybrids. It should be interesting to see what they turn into as they mature.

I have one seedling here that is a first for me and I am pretty sure it is doomed to die. It is a Macdek Macrorrhiza X frydek crossed with borneo giant. All the seedlings looked good and healthy but this one has been a solid white though the others were colored this one with the same light levels and all seems to be a pure albino. I was hoping a new leaf or two would show up variegated or green but so far still solid white. I don't think it will survive once it uses up its stored food supply for the seed. Have you ever had anything like this before in your breeding??

The plant is larger now this was when I first potted it up. It now has 1 or 2 more leaves. I dont see how it will survive unless it starts getting some green on it soon.
