Maudiae x micranthum cross.

[InspirChid1712]

Genetics are odd...! I would cross that plant with P. micranthum again and see what happens. It is absolutely gorgeous, whatever it may be!!

Here is another photo with leaves showing

weird, those leave show less micranthum than the flower... I think I would admit here the possibility of a mislabelled plant... are all 3 shown plants from the same original source?

I would expect the leaves to be perhaps a bit darker, and have a little purple pigmentation underneath if micranthum were one of the parents.

sorry, accidents occur even if they were good vendors. the entire flask might have been mislabelled and mix up. I would predict this one to be a maudiae cross with a complex hybrid (like a bulldog)

Good point, there is no micranthum in that plant or very little. I didn't really think about it but I think you have it right.

Thanks for all your comments. Yes, it may well be mislabeled. I will check to see if I see anything similar at the upcoming Japan Grand Prix International Orchid Festival at Tokyo Dome in a couple of weeks' time, and report back if I find anything.
