Phalaenopsis Chin Peng Sung

(Phal Goh Chin Chye x Phal Penang Ruby)

When I attended my Uncle Peng Sung's birthday dinner in Kuala Lumpur, I was so embarassed as I was not inform of this happy occasion and went empty handed. Although he said that our presence is more important than our present, we felt that 75 years of age is a very significant year and as such Jessie and I decided to quietly register and orchid in his name for what he represents. The bold red colour of this orchid hybrid shows his strong character, always campaigning for truth, honour, and righteous conduct. Its has been my greatest pleasure to have an uncle such as he for his caring advice and guidance.God will bless him with many more birthdays to come.

This showy orchid hybrid, round in shape, measures 6x6 cm Petals and sepals are chilly red (Tan Lee Moy type of red) with a fine greenish lining along the edges. The column is white and side-lopes are yellow whilst the lip is pink.
