New Hybrids in Bloom

New Hybrids in Bloom

R414 P Tan Lee Moy 'Chilli Red' x P Eleanor Loh

This hybrid pollinated on 27 Febuary 2007 gave its first bloom on the 17 March 2010. Since then four other plants bloomed. As they say a picture is worth more than a thousand words, I will therefore not discribe the flowers in detail but suffice to say that this hybrid has the potential to produce show quality flowers.




From the five blooms we can see that P Eleanor Loh features are more dominant here.










R458 P Ong Tin Kok (P Penang Princess x P Penang Ruby) x P Penang Ruby

This new hybrid gave its first bloom on 4 April 2010. Pollinated on 3 September 2007 and deflasked in early 2009 it grew well in moss.. As the seed germination was not so fertile, flasks were not offered for sale. Most of the plants are matured with leaves of between 3-4 inch long.
The flower is round in shape and measures 4 cm x 4 cm. Petals and sepals are maroon red in colour. The Side lopes are bright yellow and lip dark red. The plant is quite small with 4 leaves of about 4 inches long. When it matures further I expect the size of the flower to be larger. A potential hybrid to produce show quality flowers.
