You are reading the "Meet the Stud Plants" category of my online catalog. Click on an underlined link to see a larger picture, additional pictures, or to read more information if it is available. Please remember that offspring from hybrid matings will be unique and sometimes very different from each other and the individual pictures used to represent the cross. Species grown from seed will show more uniformity (they are species after all) but each plant will still be unique.

The parents of Phal. Jezebel ‘Pebbles’ HCC/AOS are (Kung’s Ann x Jane Hudson)

The parents of Phal. Summer Venus  ‘Most Red’ are  (Summer Wine x venosa)  Flowers open very red but fade to orange as they age and create the effect of different colored flowers on the same inflorescence.

The parents of Phal. Misty Baby ‘Leesburg’ are (Phal Bamboo Baby x Phal Misty Green) These are huge flat flowers with a hint of green. One of my favorites and I always thought it deserved an award, but alas the judges (at least one) thought otherwise with sufficient force to convince the others in [...]

The parents are (Micro Nova x equestris var. alba).  All the other offspring in this grex that I saw bloom had anthocyanin pigments in the lip that masked the yellow.  Not only is ‘Lemon Lip’ missing these pigments it is partially peloric; the yellow from the lip shows up in the petals.

The parents are (Ren Kalsom 4n x Phal. equestris)   I got this plant from Peter Lin at Big Leaf Orchids almost a decade ago.  Alas, it did not survive the fire.

The parents of this primary hybrid are (equestris x schilleriana). The cultivar ‘Leesburg’ can have inflorescences with tertiary branching.

The parents of Phal. Brother Precious Stones ‘Valentine’ (Brother Fancy ‘Lung Ching’ x Brother Purple ‘Brother’)

A very interesting little species.  Starts blooming on small plants with spikes that are hidden under the leaves.  Spikes persist for many years and grow longer each flowering season and eventually hang in nice displays below the leaves.  The spikes are geotropic.  They grow straight toward the ground no matter which way the plant is [...]

DPE0468 Phal. equestris ’Leesburg’.  This cultivar is itself the offspring of  ‘Riverbend’, AM/AOS 87 points.  It looks very similar.  It is very vigorous.
