Excitement is building for this new remake of the primary hybrid Phal. Valentinii! Two new forms of its species parentage were used to create it, and we’re expecting to see some vivid colors as a result of the ‘Red’ clone of the sumatrana strain of Phal. violacea combined with the awarded red ‘Montclair’ form of Phal. cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae. This remake has been amazing in its compact growth habit with Phal. cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae dominating the reduced plant size and the red pigmentation (spots) in its leaves when exposed to heat and Cattleya-level light. This is one of the few Phal. hybrids that can tolerate Cattleya light levels. These plants should be vigorous growers, very heat-tolerant, disease resistant, sequential bloomer, multiple-spike habit, have a wonderful fragrance, and should carry the vivid color of its parentage. Excellent for growing under lights or on a bright windowsill. Can be grown in a pot or mounted—adjust your watering accordingly. In areas like South Florida or Southern California where winters are mild it can be grown outdoors. Very Highly Recommended!
