Dtps Purple Martin ‘KS’

[Elena]

This little guy is flowering again, this time with two spikes. I don't grow many Phals but I like this one. It' compact, nice colour and a very pleasant scent too.

The cross is Dtps Kenneth Schubert x P. violacea.
Dtps Kenneth Schubert is Doritis pulcherrima x P. violacea

On my screen the colour is spot on

That's really pretty!

 

[smartie2000]

Very nice. I'd like a blue (I mean violet) phal eventually.

 

[Elena]

Thanks guys!

I'd like a blue (I mean violet) phal eventually.

Out of the 6 Phals that I have, 5 are either 'blue' or will hopefully be 'blue'

 

[NYEric]

Hmmmm, they're not that common here!

 

[biothanasis]

nice blue!!!!

 

[Elena]

Hmmmm, they're not that common here!

Nope, they are not that common here either so it's a matter of keeping an eye out for them and occasional luck.

 

[SlipperFan]

Great blue! Is it easier to flower than Kenneth Schubert?

 

[Bolero]

That is a stunning colour with the green leaves and black background, the contrast is amazing.

 

[mkline3]

Great color, you don't see many that blue.

 

[Elena]

Thanks, guys!

Dot, I can't comment on Kenneth Schubert because I don't have one but this one is seems easy. It flowered last around Oct time, I then stuck it under lights so it was fairly warm and bright during winter and as you can see didn't take long to re-spike.

 

[NYEric]

I wish I could get my violencia to re-bloom. For what I paid for it, it should be popping out blooms like the Octo-mom!

 

[Elena]

It's not ‘Krull’s Navy Blue’ x ‘Crystelle’, by any chance, is it? I got a seedling from Ratcliffe last summer and, ouch, that was one pricey Phal baby

 

[NYEric]

No, no names, I can't afford to have vendors upset w/ me!
