Phal. Samera II bloomed

This plant was labelled Phal. bellina x Phal. violacea, so to shorten the name I put it under Phalaenopsis Samera.
Here is how it bloomed:



I am a bit surprised to see such solid dark color. I was expecting something lighter with darker bellinas triangle in the middle.



In fact I don't see any influence of bellina in this phal, but then again I didn't see that many Sameras to really make any statements.



It could be a disappointment but I sort of like the color even though I realize that shape is rather bad with such reflected petals.

Charts update and new spike discovered

First about the spike:
It is growing on Phal Samera which was sitting doing nothing for over a year, so I am quite excited about this spike and hope it successfully grows up to the blooming time:



Now charts. I have fixed the calculation problem for the phals that have missing parent somewhere in the family tree. In such cases chart will not be generated at all, which is better than showing wrong data. It is reloading now, about half-way through(takes a while because of recursive nature of the calculations)...
Whatever is done already looks fine.

I have added text that includes full list of the species breakdown, even those that got into "Other" bucket on the chart. For example:

Phal. Samera II

This phalaenopsis plant came labeled Phal. bellina x Phal. violacea. I am going to log it under proper name - Samera and this would be the second one for me.




Great thing - this one is a blooming sized one.
