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. Su-An Cricket ‘#1′ are  (Gelblieber x mannii)

The parents of Phal. Golden Peoker ‘Ever-spring’ JC/AOS are (Misty Green x Liu Tuen-Shen). This cultivar is literally the mother of all harlequin style hybrids available today. It has a mutation that allows for irregular pigment patterns on the petals and sepals. I hate making absolute statements but I think, (unless the same or similar [...]

The parents of Phal. Ken Peterson ‘Yellow Border’ are  (Hausermann’s Goldcup ‘Everlasting’ x Golden Buddha ‘Gemstone #1′)  The primary difference between this cultivar and ‘Halo’ is petal shape.  This one is more star shaped.

The parents of Phal. Fortune Saltzman ‘Maple Bridge’ AM/TOS are (Liu Tuen-Shen x Barbara Freed Saltzman).  This plant has since died.   Try as hard as I can I am unable to subdue the green tint to this flower.  It is greenish and therefore seems to be a good candidate for green hybridizing, but the flower color actually [...]
