New Registered Hybrids


NEW REGISTERED HYBRIDS

DENDROBIUM DOREEN LEE

 DEN DOREEN LEE ( Den Penang Little Magic x Den canaliculatum).  This miniature hybrid produces a relatively long spray in relation to its size. The colours are varied with different hues of brown, yellow, purple and blue. This hybrid was donated by the originator as a prize for the 50th. ACS Class of 61-63 Golden Reunion  Dinner lucky draw held on 18 November 2011 at the Tanglin Club. The lucky winner was John Lee who opted to have this hybrid registered in his wife's name.

PHALAENOPSIS LEE WAI FUN.. This hybrid produces all red or orange flowers measuring 4-5cm in size.  Named after the originator's sister-in-law to commemorate her birthday.
DEN THERESA SEBASTIAN
A hybrid from Den Robert Ang and Den Lee Chak Kin which characteristics of Den Robert Ang are more prominant, with its dark red color, than the latter.  This hybrid was donated by the originator for auction at the fund raising dinner organised by the Rotary Club of Johor Baru on the 4th March 2012

TRICHOCIDIUM LEE WAI QEEN

A hybrid from two very old plants - old not in age but old because  Onc. Josephine was done way before I was born -  producing some magnificient blooms. This hybrid is named aftre the originator's wife.

PHAL CATALINA MULANAX
About 10 years ago, I visited a freind Jeff Mulanax, an orchidist in California. His daughter had a pet cockerel and when we were talking about orchids, she casually asked me if I could register an orchid in her name. On my affirmation she wrote her name on a piece of paper and gave it to me. As time passed, I totally forgot about this incident when one day she appeared in Ipoh with her parents and she reminded me if I had already registered  an orchid in her name.  By now she has blossomed into a pretty lady of 17 yrs and this hybrid was chosen in honor of her persistence.

PHALAENOPSIS LULA BLUE CHAMORRO

Named after the originator's grand daughter, a joy that one cannot express in words.  A prayer from many answered.  A precious gift from the Almighty God.  After two boys, my daughter Valerie was hesitant in having another baby. What happens if it's another boy? This hybrid with a parent plant named after her father was chosen by the family to named after Lula. Flower is small and star shaped but color is bold and full of character.
