Parents:
- KS Linzo (Not a named variety)
- Sangria (Not in Capsi yet)

Khang Starr’s own videos name Lingria as Linzo pollen on a Sangria plant, later grown to F5. Peter Stanley grew seed Khang sent him and repeats the same cross. Shop pages that say White Thai are repeating each other, not a second pedigree.
