Largest Dark Purple Phal Question
Default Largest Dark Purple Phal Question

What hybrid produces the largest dark purple classic looking phal flower?

The type of phal I was thinking about was something like Phal. Montclair King 'Cleopatra' sold by orchids.com which has large petals that mostly cover the sepals.

Of this old type of dark purple phal. which hybrids produce the largest flower sizes?

This is going to be a really difficult question to answer. There are thousands of hybrids which fit your question. My guess is that you'll have to pick one and settle for it.

The size of the flower will have much more to do with how well you take care of the plant, rather than its genetics.

I suggest you get some plants and practice. Once you understand what Phals like, and how to grow them well, contact several growers and ask them what they have that might fit the bill.

Per Award record, Phal. Montclair King 'Picotee ' AM/AOS 80 Points, 2016 January 28 has NS of 11.5 cm, 9.9 cm NSV

One of my favorite large dark purple from wholesaler is

Phal Jiuhbao Sweetie 'D.S' AM/AOS 81 Points, 2010 March 27 has NS of 13.8 cm, 11.2 cm NSV

One concern with large dark purple is that plant itself is very large too. It takes up space in growing and shipping. If consumers don't demand very large flowers, smaller size flower on a more compact plant will do just fine.
