New Dendrobium Hybrids registered with RHS

Dendrobium Robert Patrick Ian Balhetchet

A hybrid by crossing D taurinunum with D Penang Little Magic.

The flower resembles more like Den taurinum as characterised by the short horns and broad lip. The flower measures 4cm x 4cm with reddish brown petals. Side-lopes and lip are both violet in colour. As this hybrid other parent is Den Penang Little Magic the size of this plant is comparative short and most are less than 12 inch tall which is suitable for confined conditions.

Dendrobium Lee Wai Qeen

A beautiful hybrid by crossing D Tan Kheng Liang with D tangerinum.

This hybrid is named after my wife Jessie.

As one of the parent plant in Den Tan Kheng Liang is Den Seah Koko, this hybrid maintains the curls which are so characteristic of Den Seah Koko. The strong orange colour comes from Den tangerinum. However other plants from this crossing have darker colours taking more to the characteristic of Den Tan Kheng Liang. Flower measures 7cm x 5cm . Petals are formed with a 4 1/2 twist. The column is purplish and lip is copper brown with purplish strip in the center (a trait from Den tangerinum)
