Thanks!

I decided to name this cultivar 'Grandmother's 100th' or 'Ah Poh's 100th' to commemorate my grandma's 100th birthday this year. She was my inspiration to start orchid growing when I was 10 years old!!

I also decided to pollinate the flower with a pollen I received from Ben. (Thanks Ben!). The flower pic is below and as you can see is bright magenta as well. The shape looks rounder and ideally will pass this on to the babies.

Hopefully the cross takes. Both parents have coerulea genes in their background so I approximate that 25% will be coerulea.

Congrats on the award and I hope the pod takes for you. I can't wait to hear how things are going as you proceed with your adventure forward. Does Bens orchid also have a award? It would be great to put the two together and make something that also is awarded. Good Luck!

Goodness say happy birthday to Gramma 100 that's great. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it takes.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure if Ben's plant is awarded. Nonetheless the mating is my dream cross.

Beautiful plant and congratulations on the award! I have one of these too, a small one I got last year and is now blooming for the first time. My question: are the leaves on your Phal the usual size for this plant? My leaves are nowhere near that big, but now a I am wondering where I can keep this plant if it grows to the size of yours!
