Stud Plants 2









Stud Plants 2


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.
