Phal. bellina "red apple"

[Drorchid]

One thing I forgot to add, is that the plant also looks like a pure bellina. THe leaves of bellina tend to be more "Round" in shape, as the leaves of violacea are a little more pointed.

Thanks! That is what I eventually plan to do with it. It still was a little too small to hold a seedpod the first time it bloomed, and I didn't want to risk killing it by selfing it, but I did backcross it to both of it's parents, to hopefully get some more solid colored bellina's..It will be interesting to see what the genetics of this trait will be, will it be dominant or recessive?

Yes, but I can see many bellina/violacea cross with round leave in Hong Kong, and there were deliberations on whether pure blood bellina still exist in the market some years ago. From the post, the conclusion is it is very hard to tell whether the plant is a pure bellina bu just looking at the form of bloom and leave, but should do with their parents.

Thank you for your information anyway and I shall start some discussions in Hong Kong's forum for new enlightenments.

It is already cheaper than last year! I bought it in a high price last year too, but it deserves.
