N. villosa x veitchii ‘Gold Rush’ – solid peristome: BE-4606 SMALL
“We first introduced this great cross as a seed-grown item under BE-4016 in April 2020 and then in July 2021 it was released as assorted clones out of microprop as BE-4045. As so many different individual clones are involved in both releases, there are varying colorations. Most people make a distinction between those with uniform colored, or ‘solid’ peristomes and those with peristomes which have varying degrees of stripes to them. Ideally, we would separate the two types at the lab level and release them, but that process takes several years – we’re on it! In the meantime, we’ve hand-selected plants in the nursery for either uniform (solid) peristomes or striped peristomes and are releasing them under two new BE-codes. This is the solid version as BE-4606.
The female parent is well known, so we’ve shown a photo of the male parent at the end of the series.”
