Stud Plants 5

I have a collection of good stud Phal bellina and Phal violacea which I use extensively for my propagation of white, red and blue Phal violacea. I have crossed the blue variety with the normal Phal bellina, hoping that the blue strain will cross over to produce a blue bellina of better shape and colour.(R 500 P violacea 'Blue' x P bellina 'Blue', R503 P bellina blue x P bellina, )

I also have the giant variety and the largest measures up to 3 1/2 inch from top to bottom. The one in the photo measures 3.2 inch. Although it is star shaped I manage to cross it with one of my rounder ones and quite a few hybrids produce show quality blooms (R36 , R244)

My stud P bellinas have produced quite a number of show quality plants. Using different P bellina together with the giant ofsprings I hope to propagate a large round form which is in great demand here in Malaysia and Singapore.

L-R Phal Valentinii Phal cornu-cervi 'Thai'

From L-R Phal talinani , Phal cornu-cervi #1 'Malaysia'

Phal Valentinii 'Red'

I always have a passion for Phal cornu-cervi and when I bought a red coloured Phal Valentinii I wanted to propagate a line of red cornu cervi shaped hybrids. With just a few Phal cornu-cervi and Phal Valentinii I managed to produce a few good star-shaped red orchids eg R3 (Phal Tan Cheng San) R4 (Phal Ang Ai Hue) , R239 (Phal talibanii x Phal Valentinii 'Stripe') and R312 (Phal talebanii x Phal valentinii 'Red'

L-R Phal talebanii x Phal talebanii x Phal Valentinii 'Stripe'

L-R R312 (Phal talebanii x Phal Valentinii 'Red' R239 (Phal talebanii x Phal Valentinii "Stripe"

With the new red hybrids I have crossed it with quite a number of red coloured ones which are larger, rounder and darker red so as to get a better shaped flower with darker colour and rounder form but still maintaining the basic cornu-cervi shape. Most of them are of blooming size and hopefully it will bloom as to my expectation. These crossings are R350 (Phal Tan Cheng San x Phal talebanii), R 386 (Phal Tan Cheng San x Phal cornu cervi#1), R 396(Phal talebanii x Phal Ang Ai Hue), R417 (Phal Michael Chamorro x Phal Tan Cheng San), R418 (Phal Michael Chamorro x Valentinii 'Red') R439 (Phal Michael Chamorro x Phal Ang Ai Hue) R441 (Phal Tan Chen San x Phal Ang Ai Hue) and R525 (Phal Poh Ee Huat x Phal Tan Cheng San)

As its getting qute boring featuring my stud plants one by one, I thought it would be better if I feature more of them in this posting

.

From L-R Phal amboinensis (Taiwan), Phal amboinensis 'Nicole', Phal amboinensis 'Taiwan', Phal amboinensis 'Malaysia'

My collection of Phal amboinensis is mostly from Taiwan which is larger and rounder in shape. I have chosen the rounder shape and deeper colours for my stud as these qualities are essential in creating a better hybrids. Crossings with Phal Tan Lee Moy and Phal Penang Ruby have produced show quality hybrids like R237 Phal Jessie Ang and R274 Phal Jessie Lee. I have also cross Phal amboinensis 'Nicole' with self (R317) and Phal amboinensis 'Taiwan' with self R67 & R74). Both have produced blooms better than their stud plants.I also expect crossings of Phal amboinensis 'Taiwan' with Phal Eleanor Loh (R358), with Phal belina (R432), and Phal Michael Chamorro (R475) to produce also show quality plants.

Phal Eleanor Loh

Another plant which I use extensively as stud is Phal Eleanor Loh. This hybrid is used mainly for its shape. Crossings with this hybrid is R188 (Phal gigantea x Phal Eleanor Loh), R381 (Phal Michael Chamorrow x Phal Eleanor Loh), R414 (Phal Tan Lee Moy x Phal Eleanor Loh), R470 (Phal Eleanor Loh x Phal Hsu Li-shian) R496 (Phal Eleanor Loh x Phal Poh Ee Huat).R581 (Phal Penang Ruby x Phal Eleanor Loh).

From L-R Phal Billy Wang Phal Billy Wang Phal Billy Wang Phal Penang Jewel

From L-R Phal Penang Violacea Phal cornu cervi Phal Su-an Cricket Phal Gladys Fang

I have a collection of alba form phalaenopsis. It is my intention to produce a green hybrid of good colour shape and form. Genetically the green colour probably came from Phal Penang Jewel. From this hybrid I propagated a few green flower ( R13, and R22) and I have used them to propagate with other green/yellow hybrids, like, Phal Penang Violacea and Phal cornu-cervi.
My new hybrids from these studs have produced some nice green blooms ie R251 (Phal Su-an Cricket x Phal Billy Wang), R277 (Phal Billy Wang Sib),R328 (Phal cornu cervi 'Alba' x Phal Billy Wang), R351 (Penang Jewel x Phal Soo Ngor 'Green') , RR391 (Phal Penang Violacea x Phal Billy Wang 'Green'), and R443 (Phal violacea 'Alba' x Phal cornu-cervi 'Alba').
