Phal. Norman's Yellow Butterfly 'Sweetheart' (Lioulin Magic Lip x Chiada Katherine) , MC2519
This spectacular Phal hybrid comes from our very own breeding and select tissue culture clone. Phal. Norman's Yellow Butterfly 'Sweetheart' is the new direction of Phal breeding that combines the following traits: big lip, miniature, compact leaves, and multifloral with sturdy branching inflorescence—it is a rare combination! The non-fading yellow flowers have a heavy substance that lasts a long time. Big lip Phals are the result of a genetic mutation. It is a type of peloricism where the lip mimics the petals (also known as petaloid). The common form of peloricism is the type where the petals mimic the lip.
The pod parent, Phal. Lioulin Magic Lip, is a big lip type with medium sized yellow flower. It is Phal. Yu Pin Easter Island (a big lip type) x Phal. Sogo Shito. Phal. Sogo Shito is a 3-inch waxy novelty solid gold yellow. The pollen parent, Phal. Chiada Katherine, is a hybrid registered by the National Chiayi University of Taiwan. This hybrid was created by horticulture students at the university. It is Phal. Sogo Pinkama x Phal. Lioulin Pure Lip (a big lip type). Phal. Sogo Pinkama is a miniature with Phal. amabilis, Phal. aphrodite var formosanum, Phal. schilleriana and Phal. equestris in its breeding background
