Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Phalaenopsis violacea is a warm-growing phalaenopsis species with fragrant magenta flowers. Mine generally grow in a temperature range of 60°F through 90°F (I-W).
Comments: This cross, 'Amazon' x 'Best' is a sib-cross of 'Royalty' x 'Ken's Blue', hoping to further isolate the coerulea gene and produce some coerulea progeny with rich, saturated color.
Pod parent plant: Phal. violacea 'Amazon' is from the cross of 'Royalty' x 'Ken's Blue', so it carries the coerulea gene. It is the largest and most vigorous plant I have of that grex, as well as having great color saturation. The name 'Amazon' doesn't refer to origin, but to its size and growth rate in comparison to its sibs. This is a trait that I hope it passed on to its progeny. Medium-sized plant.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
136 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/06/2009 through 01/10/2012)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 8 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/09/2009 through 03/28/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 55 mm (03/28/2012)
