Ok, I get what you're saying. I really don't know what I thought you meant when I first replied! But, from the crosses I've seen with javanica, you're gonna have a fun time getting rid of the hoodie!

Actually not, go to this link and look at violacea X javanica, half the battle has already been fought and won.

OrchidWiz Express lists quite a few crosses with javanica but no pictures of the outcome. Shows this cross as registered in 1994. Maybe someone with the Encyclo version can jump in with more data, if there is any.
The hoodie may/may not have been subsequently bred out. Personally I don't think its a characteristic worth keeping, looks as if the flower hasn't finished opening...
the colour patterns on the other hand are something special. I haven't seen a flatter or amabilis type phal with that colouring. And there have been literally hundreds of colourings coming from Taiwan - from EZ Orchids. I see them everywhere, for $9.99 !!!!

couple more crosses here

Phalaenopsis javanica

sanderiana and wilsonii crosses appear to have the colour impact...

There have not been any croses done with this as a parent, but check out this site that has pictures of many of the javanica primary hybrids at the bottom of the page.
