We are proud to announce that we received the Best Phalaenopsis award at the 2019 Huntington International Orchid Festival for this remarkable novelty red Phalaenopsis hybrid!
This novelty red complex hybrid phalaenopsis produces an abundance of red fragrant flowers on multiple spikes on a compact plant. In this remake, we used Phal. Samera var. coerulea as the pod parent and Phal. Shingher Pure Love as the pollen parent. The pod parent, Phal. Samera var. coerulea (bellina var. coerulea x violacea var. indigo), is a spectacular remake created from a sibling cross of two of our own select parents! The pollen parent, Phal. Shingher Pure Love, is Phal. Su-An Super Star x Phal. violacea var. indigo. Phal. Su-An Super Star is Phal. tetraspis x Phal. George Vasquez.
The genetic composition of Phal. Yaphon Red Pearl is 59% Phal. violacea, 25% Phal. bellina, 13% Phal. tetraspis, 3% Phal. lueddemanniana. Phal. tetraspis in its background increases the flower count, so it looks like a fragrant red bellina/violacea with lots of flowers on multiple-spiking habit. Flowers are waxy and have great substance, so it lasts a long time. It is a sequential bloomer, so it will continue to bloom on old spikes for several years while new spikes are growing. Do not cut the spike until it turns yellow. This is an ideal plant for people have limited space due to its compact growth habit. Perfect for growing on a windowsill or under lights. Mature plants can put on a fantastic show. Award Quality. Very Highly Recommended. As these plants are seedlings, each plant is unique and may differ from the photo.
