Al — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:39:11 +0000

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.

DPE0138 Phal. Misty Baby ‘Leesburg’

Al — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:34:35 +0000

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 group that scoring it would not produce an awardable average score. Alas, it has recently died after almost a decade in the red tag section of my greenhouse collection. There are several stemprops circulating among orchid collectors…. hint hint…

DPE0204 Phal. Fantasy Musick ‘Lemon Lip’

Al — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:17:29 +0000

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.

DPE0224 Rnthps. Penang Miami

Al — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:55:02 +0000

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

DPE0455 Phal. javanica

Al — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:24:01 +0000

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 oriented so plants grown in pots send spikes straight into the potting media. So keep an eye on them if you won one and train the spikes to grow out and over the pots. For this reason, these are a little bit easier to deal with if grown mounted and hung on a wall.

Al — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:30:16 +0000

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