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.
DPE1353 Phal. violacea var. coerulea ‘Nancy’s Gift’
The parents are (‘Sapphire Doll’ AM/AOS x ‘Harvey’)
DPE1309 Phal. braceana ‘Dusky Rose’
Kind of different from my other braceana in color and shape. Still, it is labeled as a braceana and since it doesn’t fit clearly into any of the other possibilities AND since I have only seen about half a dozen P braceana up close and personal, I don’t feel qualified to say if is correctly [...]
DPE1200 Phal. braceana ‘Brown Dwarf’
A very dark flower on a miniature plant. The flower has a “meaty” fragrance that reminds me of a meat peptide used in orchid flasking media. Yummm.
DPE0937 Phal. Distant Star ‘A’
The parents are (Be Glad ‘Powder Puff’ x venosa ‘Summer Time’). This plant blooms all the time. It also has one of those traits that people who see it love and judges do not like. It’s color fades as the flowers age which creates the effect of different colored flowers on the same inflorescence.
DPE0224 Rnthps. Penang Miami
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.
DPE0204 Phal. Fantasy Musick ‘Lemon Lip’
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.
DPE0605 Phal. violacea ‘Millie’
This cultivar is twice the size of other P violaceas I have. It’s flowers have somewhat green tips and are larger than the other violaceas too. It was sold to me as Phal viridis but it’s first bloom ruled that out. My belief is that ‘Millie’ is an example of what Eric Christenson, in his book “Phalaenopsis a [...]
