Phal guessing game
Okay, so I had a long day and now I'm bored. Thought I would play a game. The attached photo is a remake or a cross made in 1887. I will give you one hint, it is a primary hybrid. Let the guessing begin.

Lana - You are absolutely correct Phal violecea X Phal amabilis = Phal. Harriettiae made in 1887 by Veitch & Co and remade a few years ago with a violecea not a bellina. I would have thought that there would have been more influence from the amabilis parent.

I am thrilled I was able to spur the two of you on to "Higher Education" while I entertained myself. Hats off to you both.
