What do you think?

Bought this from a local breeder whom registered this a Phal Dunman High (Ref: INTERNATIONAL REGISTER OF ORCHID HYBRIDSVOLUME 114, NUMBER 1272, NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2006)



This was bought during SGF 2010 from a Taiwanese seller. The name indicated on the label is Phal bellina x Phal Coral Isle.



Coincidentally, the parentage used is the same. Phal Dunman High - Phal bellina x Phal Coral Isle.

Now lets take a look at Phal Coral Isle that i managed to get it during my last trip to Taiwan.

Phal Coral Isle



Well we all know how Phal bellina look and shan't post the picture here.

So what do you think? Which is correct?

We will never know for sure if these are siblings from one grex or two different grex. For now let's say they are similar crosses - two different grex with a common parent Phal Coral Isles.

Phal Corona - Phal conu-cervi x phal amboinensis

Phal amboinensis flava

Bought this also from Mr Law and has been growing it coming to 3 years. To get this species to flower is indeed difficult. Three years, 3 flowers, one year each! Guess how many spikes this plant is carrying now? Four! Yet it is so stingy in giving me more flower!

Phal Dunman High

Almost lost this beautiful phal made by one of our local breeder, Mr Law. Good that it survived and blooming now.

This was purchased during the last SGF via a mass order from a breeder in Taiwan. The flower is heavily spotted which i like it very much.
