Phal Jelly Belly Cross
 

Deflasked these today. This is a "novelty" cross which usually results in fewer seedlings. I didn't use the "tray" method because of this.

Date pollinated : 1 May 2012
Date flasked : 15 December 2012
Date deflasked : 18 July 2014

BRILLIANT!!!! I am SOOOOO impressed!!!! All the babies are glowing with health, forget, spectacular flower!

Bravo!!!

What will you do with them??? Can we buy some?

I have a couple of my own crosses that I am growing on. Nobby's Amy, Chingruey's Fancy and a zygo. No, I don't know what I am going to do with them all !

I wanna buy two!!!! Cause thing is, no way do I have enuff orchids.;)

Well you know I am gonna charge you $100 each. Just kidding. :rofl:
No plans to sell anything in the next year or 2.

I am beyond grateful every moment for what I have and feel blessed, I am told I am the least ingrate human around... but boy, it must be nice to have an outdoors!!!;)

When the puppies get big enough to start chewin up the furniture and you go into dept buying bales of NZ Sphag....let me know and hook me up!

Bet everyone here feels the same!

It's a journey!!!:biggrin: And, I can feel how much joy every part brings you! I LUV THIS.:dance:

Is almost like the halcyon days of the Bulls! :cool:

its been 5 months and growth has not been of note at all. Evidently the genetics are not 'compatible' ? Though they may be in process of 'taking off' as they are greening up.
Interestingly ( well, for me ! ) this is made up of 7 species. 4 have @ 1/8 contribution, 1 @ 1/4 , 1 @ 3/16 and last species at about 1/16. Such a composition is pretty rare on the hybrids I have seen/researched and was one of the reasons why I made this specific cross.

That is such a beautiful orchid!!! Love the colors!

You should definitely keep them until they bloom so you can see if you have any award-worthy results. And, so we call all see how these turn out! :)

Compared to your Nobby's Amy cross, geez they are slow growers! But maybe these wil have the most fantastic flowers of all your crosses.
