Hi everyone
Just a quote from sunbelle for the thread i opened..........
Quote:
The exact parentage of Miranda is proprietary info. The originator of the cross does not want to reveal it. We can only guess based upon the types of plants that would have been available to the hybridizer. There is very good reason to believe that N. maxima was the pod parent. It is the habit of this particular breeder to use the name of the female parent as part of the new hybrid's name. When Miranda first came on the market, it was wholesaled as N. maxima Miranda. It is obviously not a pure maxima. The pollen parent (father) was either N. Mixta or N. northiana. N. Mixta 'Superba' is common enough in European collections and is a male, so it would be a very likely candidate as the father of Miranda. There are also some blooming size northiana in Europe, so one cannot rule out the possibility that Miranda is a reciprocal cross of Mixta.
N. Oisoensis is a Japanese hybrid made years before Miranda. The clone we've seen around for years is a female.
Hope this answers a few questions

So according to him that well maybe the cross could be a mixta var superba or northiana but i doubt its a northiana.......I guess its more like a mixta var superba because if its just the normal mixta then the cross will not be miranda but N oisoensis....So for now i'm just guessing its mixta var superba x maxima....Well we'll never know anyhow unless the person who made the hybrid decides to reveal it/
