    This grex exists as both 3N and 4N strains. According to information on the New Horizon Orchids (NHO) forums, the 3N strains were from Milton Carpenter and are not fertile, whilst the 4N strains ('Salinas Sunset' being an example) originate from NHO and have been used extensively in further heat-tolerant breeding.
