Phal violacea var coerulea

Well it is that time of the year again to try and cross two nice Phalaenopsis violacea coerulea orchids I have been working with for the last couple of summers now. The pod parent this summer will be a mericlone of Joseph Wu's "Joy" from Taiwan I acquired earlier this year. It is blooming now and looks like this http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/f...coer_joy1a.jpg http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/f...coer_joy3a.jpg The coerulea is on the right side. I have included a regular violacea in the picture on the left just to see/test the standard magenta coloration. My question to you is this... do you know of any better coerulea clones/specimens than this? If so, I would like to see the picture or hear about it. It is nice and blue... I (personally) am not that impressed with the form, at least in comparison the regular violacea pictured. I see a lot of the regular violacea, not much of the blue form, so my opinion is worth exactly nothing. I don't know what your goals are, but I'd pay nice money for a plant combining the form of the regular violacea and the color of the coerulea. So, are you going to show us a picture of the pollen parent? I for one would like to see images of the entire coerulea set, just so I know what to look for when I see one in person. Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit LittlefrogFarm is open - e-mail me for a list ) |
