Miniature Phalaenopsis (Phal equestris 'Gino' JC/AOS)
This little cutie arrived in the mail today with a label that reads: "specie Phal "Gino" JC/AOS". I won it on E-bay and it carried the same name on E-bay. I didn't question the name because I assumed that it would be properly labeled when it arrived. What you see is what you get so I called the grower, Baldan Orchids, maker of the famous Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope who informed me that it was awarded a JC by the judges under the name that was on the tag and that was the only name they had for it. She did not know the parents names but thought it to be a Doritis pulcherrima and Phal. equestris cross because it is a miniature that makes basal growths like Doritis instead of keikis like equestris. I couldn't find it on RHS. I don't know what I have at this point but it sure is cute. All suggestions welcome.
