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)
