Hybrids Catalogue

May 7th, 2008... We are very excited to be able to start releasing our next generation of coerulea phalaenopsis crosses. These new crosses starting coming out of the lab in March. So the seedlings are established, but are not very large with 10-12cm tip to tip leaf span. We will have more exiciting hybrids for release in the next few months including a few indigo violacea crosses.

Phal. Jennifer Palermo var coerulea
(Phal. tetraspis var alba X Phal. violacea 'SDO Violet)

This is our attempt at creating a coerulea Jennifer Palermo with our best standard coerulea violacea. So far these have been fast growers, exhibiting good hybrid vigor. The expectation is that most of these will flower out bluish lavender.

As with most tetrapsis hybrids, we expect that mature plants will be ever blooming with heavier flushes in late spring and late summer.

Phal. Princess Kaiulani var coerulea
(Phal. amboinensis 'Snow Bird' X Phal. violacea 'SDO Violet')

This is potentially a very interesting cross. Originally we weren't expecting anything blue out of this cross, but recent imports from Taiwan suggest that this line of breeding can result in some very nice blue/purple pattering.

These should have some really interesting colors. Some will probably flower out the normal orange and yellow typical of Princess Kaiulani. Some will potentially have some color from the coerulea violacea.

Unfortunately we didn't plant out many flasks of this cross, so these are rather limited.

Phal. Taida Sunshine
(Phal. equestris var cyanochilus 'Martel's Blue' X Phal. tetraspis)

Example first bloom

This is an experimental cross with the blue lipped equestris (var cyanochilus). The tetraspis used is almost alba with the expectation of a slightly lavender lip. The goal here is to get some pale blue lipped flowers. Again the probability of getting blues out of this cross is low, but these could be useful for future blue phal breeding.

This should be a nice cross if you like primaries. So far these have been blooming out with lots of spots and some striping. They have been very flat for this type of breeding. These will bloom almost continuously once mature.
