Bizarre growths on Phalaenopsis

[josterha]

Joann,

By the way, no I did not use super thrive on the hybrid. It is fascinating, though. BTW, I have a Dtps which is peloric and it's one of my favourites, just because it looks so bizarre. You can see it here:

Doritaenopsis Chain Xen Queen - is this peloric?

I'm pretty sure it was mislabeled, as it looks nothing like other flowers in the grex. I'm positive that it is from Taiwan, though. I've seen other flowers similar to it from the big Taiwanese growers.

I haven't counted out the stuartiana just yet. The spike in question came from the base and there are three or four leaves above it already and one brand new baby leaf. I will just keep an eye on it. This is the reason why I love orchids so much. They are just fascinating!
