A new hybrid, closely related to Gastrophaius Microburst: Gastrophaius Solani Steck

Phaius Gravesiae was used as seed parent to create Gastrophaius Solani Steck. The pollen parent is Gastrorchis pulchra.

As observed in Gastrophaius Microburst, I expect Gastrorchis pulchra to open the lip of Gastrophaius Solani Steck.

I also expect the lip of most Gastrophaius Solani Steck to show a lot of pink to purple. The first clone shown above on part fulfills this expectation. The heritage of Phaius wallichii as one parent of Phaius Gravesiae might lead to some Gastrophaius Solani Steck with big flowers.
