Phal Penang Ruby

I have a small collection of Phal Penag Ruby (Phal Betty Leong x Phal violacea) which I use extensively for my propagation. I have chosen this hybrid for stud because of its shape , size and colour. Crossings from these studs have produced very good showy blooms especially R274 P Jessie Lee (Phal Penang Ruby x Phal amboinensis) , R 31 P Ong Tin Kok (P Penang Princess x P Penang Ruby) and R 70 P Eleanor Loh ( P Soo Sim x P Penang Ruby). These new hybrids have also been used extensively for my propagation of third or fourth generation new hybrids.

The strong genetic characteristics from Phal Penang Ruby shows very prominently

in Phal Jessie Lee whilst the brown and thick bars from Phal amboinensis is absent

except for a few blooms.

Likewise in Phal Eleanor Loh the thick bars from Phal amboinensis is lost and replaced by finer concentric lines. This is also used as stud in R381 (Phal Michael Chamorro x Phal Eleanor Loh) R414 ( Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal Eleanor Loh), R436 (Phal Eleanor Loh x Phal Tan Lee Moy), R470 (Phal Eleanor Loh x Phal Hsu Li-Shian ) R496 (Phal Eleanor Loh x Phal Poh Ee Huat) and many others.

Phal Ong Tin Kok also shows that it is more inclined characteristically to Phal Penang Ruby. This hybrid again makes yet another good stud plant for my future propagation. Just to mention a few...R458 (Phal Ong Tin Kok x Phal Phal Penang Ruby), R477 (Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal Ong Tin Kok) R563 ( Phal Ong Tin Kok x Phal Taipeng Ruby) and many others.

My Stud Plants

1) Phalaenopsis Tan Lee Moy

To be successful as a hybridizer, you need to have a good collection of stud plants. It is true that two good parent plants do not necessary produce good offsprings but it is definitely better if you don't have any good parent plants at all. I will therefore, try to introduce some of my stud plants which I have used to propagate my hybrids with.

Phal Tan Lee Moy
( Phal Batik x Phal amboinensis )

The unique feature of this hybrid is its colour. I have never seen any specie or hybrid with this chilli red colour. This is the only one of this colour from the so many that I have. Most of it has broad patches of brownish red and even then none has this bright chilli red. This characteristic is so dominant that quite a few of my hybrids from this parent have this red colour. My hybrids R14, R18, R233, R231, and R237 produce similiar or better flowers than its parent.

R14 Phal Michael Chamorro (Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal Valentinii 'Red'


Most of this hybrid (R14) displays similar colour with that of its parent.







R18 P Tan Lee Moy x Hsu Li-Shian
This unregistered hybrid also display the brilliant chilli red colour that's so characteristic of Phal. Tan Lee Moy.




R231 Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal Soo Kee


This unregistered hybrid also shows the red colour from Phal Tan Lee Moy although in this hybrid the chilli red is not so dominant.











R233 Phal Poh Ee Huat (Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal violacea 'Malaysia')

This hybrid with Phal violacea 'Malaysia' as the other parent, which has a strong purple red colour, blends the Chilli Red colour of Phal Tan Lee Moy into something very interesting as you can see from the three photographs above.

R237 Phal Jessie Ang (Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal amboinensis)

The very strong chilli red colour of Phal Tan Lee Moy almost practically obliterated the markings on Phal amboinensis as you can see from the three photographs shown above.

Phal Tan Lee Moy has been extensively used for so many of my other hybids R307, R313, R380,
R412, R414, R436, R449, R451, R466, R467,R469, R473, R477, R483, R513, R523, R527, Etc
all of which have not bloomed yet and when they do they will be posted.
