How nice! To me it smells like a beach with lots of people using coconut scented Sunscreen. Yum!
Jim, I wouldn't drop the semi alba and the clonal name 'Dreamcity' and the fact that you have a seedling ( x self), not a clone.
a quote from beautifulorchids.com:
Q: What's the difference between a hybrid seedling and a meristem seedling?
A: A hybrid seedling is an orchid plant that has been produced by seed through the hybridization process. Two parent plants were used to produce the seed and the individual seedlings all have their own unique characteristics, like brothers and sisters in a family. A meristem seedling is a seedling that has been produced using the cloning process. Each "mericlone" plant has an identical genetic make-up and each meristem or mericlone plant will look exactly the same, like identical twins.
(That last sentence doesn't exactly hold true any longer, as you will be dealing with an aging cell make up. Stem cells are subject to an aging process and that is the reason why one sees some horribly "overcloned" Orchids at Big Box stores. Cell changes creep in through the years and that Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope which had originally a gorgeous pattern, now may show some irregular pattern and blotching. - my aside remark)
In a "self" case, the grower used the same plant to produce the seedling, so all of this information might be of importance to a future hybridizer.
