I just received a free plant with my order to EOM and would love help finding info on it and what it'll look like.
I tried to google it, but no luck.
Phal. (Bro. Sally Taylor x Maui Plum) x Phal. Bro. Pirate King.
I need to post a giant thumbs up in the vendor forum. I will take pics of all of them tomorrow.
Thanks for anyone's help with pics of this little guy.

From what I looked up Phal. (Bro. Sally Taylor x Maui Plum) has not been registered yet and crossed with Phal. Bro. Pirate King probably hasn't either.
But all the flowers of the parents seem to bee on the thick petal and red. Hope this gives you some idea.

They're all pretty complex as far as breeding goes, but the one thing all three have in common is Phal. luddemanniana makes up around 30% of the background. There's also a very slight smiggen of violacea so it may be fragrant.

So glad to hear you are still alive after your order arrived!

(private joke)

That phal sounds delicious!

Thanks everyone!

I'm making friends with all my new chids today. It's so hard for me as I don't know much of the Hawaiian language. So it's "Aloha" for now. Come this winter, they are all going to be extremely mad at me for taking them away from their warm climates. But they've never seen snow, so it will be a new experience for them, right?

As long as I keep the stoves going, they will adjust.

Note to self: Come winter, sleep with one eye open.

Just remember Kiki, Aloha means hello AND goodbye
