New Hybrids in bloom

Many people have asked me to publish photographs of my new hybrid orchids.


I have chosen a few that are of show quality and I hope you will like them. I propagate by seed and therefore almost every bloom is not identical. Some may be similar but mostly they will not be identical unless it is propagated by meristem. I have chosen the best from the ones that are in bloom and more often than not later blooms are of better quality.
These new hybrids have not been registered yet and in due time I will have them registered with the Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) in London

Some are more green whilst some are more toward yellow. As green coloured phalaenopsis is more in demand this is a sort after plant. Column and lip is white whilst side-lopes are yellow.

Column is white with purple streaks.
As one of the parent plant is D Penang Little Magic ( ofspring of D caronii) the actual plant is less than 12 inch high making it a perfect plant to grow in space restricted areas.

The flower measures 4.5cm x 5 cm. The petals and sepals have a base of light yellow/orannge colour with darker brown/orange markings spread gradually especially in the center. Column and side lopes are yellow. The lip is also yellow with a bit of purple at its tip. Some subsequent blooms are genetically more inclined towards P Tan Lee Moy and therefore they are redder in color.

It takes at least 1 and half years for dendrobiun and 3 years for phaleanopsis to bloom ( ie From pollination to harvest of pod 2-10 months, Seed flasking to deflask 6-18 months, seedlings to flower 8-24 months). To date I have done about 700 crossings.
