Description

A fascinating cross between two plants of Phalaenopsis Lioulin Blue Parrot, KM3640 is a seed-grown Phalaenopsis created for collectors who appreciate unusual forms and the genetic variation found in novelty hybrids. Lioulin Blue Parrot carries a rich Polychilos background, with important genetic contributions from Phalaenopsis violacea, P. tetraspis, P. lueddemanniana and P. bellina. This background makes its offspring particularly interesting to collectors of novelty-type Phalaenopsis. By using the same hybrid as both parents, this cross aims to recombine and preserve desirable characteristics found within Lioulin Blue Parrot. Flowers may develop blue, purple, violet or intermediate tones, but the exact appearance cannot be guaranteed before flowering. As a seed-grown plant, every individual is genetically unique. Even seedlings from the same cross may differ in flower color, intensity, pattern, petal and sepal shape, size and fragrance. Photographs of the parent plants show the genetic potential of the cross and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the purchased plant will produce an identical flower. KM3640 is an exciting choice for collectors who enjoy discovering a plant's first bloom and seeing which combination of characteristics has emerged from the cross.

Buyer’s Note

This is a seed-grown plant, not a clone. Therefore, the final flower cannot be guaranteed in terms of exact color, pattern, shape, size or fragrance. For plants that have not yet flowered, photographs of the parents or other seedlings from the same cross should be considered reference images only, rather than an exact representation of the flower the purchased plant will produce. The first flowering may be less intense or less fully developed, while flower form and coloration can improve as the plant matures.
