Don't this I received a Kenneth Schubert

[quietmorning]

I received the two orchids I ordered, a Dtps. Kenneth Schubert 'blue star' and a Phal. Equestris. I'm pretty sure the Phal is exactly what it should be, but the Kenneth Schubert looks like it's probably something else. The longest leaf is ten inches long - and the crown does not look like a phalaenopsis crown. . maybe a dendrobium? The leaves are not rounded like a phal is, they are long and slender - heh. . . like a dendrobium.

I'll try to get a pic of it in a bit to edit to this post. . but if you have a Kenneth Schubert 'blue star' could you please post a pic of the actual leaves?

Thanks!

Heh. . title should be: Don't think I received a Kenneth Schubert

Here are the pics I promised, sorry they are so late - yesterday was a long long day.



This one is for size comparison - this gent is in a 4 inch pot and has a gallon milk jub behind it.

A picture will be very helpful but in the mean time, many phals. have long slender leaves. Not very unusual.
Will be waiting for the pic.

I have a Kenneth Schubert 'Blue Star' and it looks exactly like u described it. Kind of reminds me of a cornstalk. lol. Yours is a Kenneth Schubert.

Kenneth Schubert is heavily dominated by the Doritis pulcherrima parent in all respects, including leaf shape, growth habit, and spike habit. It will form a clump due to basal keikis, as well.

Sounds fine to me. I have 8 spikes on mine!

My Kenny is the same ..Gin

8 spikes??? Are you kidding? That's awesome, must be doing something right there!

Thank you everyone for you notes, you put my mind much more at ease. . .everywhere I read said that it's a very small orchid that grows very slowly - so I was expecting maybe six inch leaves at the outside most. Though I'm fine with the leaves being bigger since I fell in love with the flower.

I posted pics above in the original post.

Thanks again!

That's a very nice looking plant. May I ask where you found it?

I purchased both this Dtps Kenneth Schubert 'Blue Star' and the Phal Equestris from Ironwood Estate Orchids - in North Carolina.

I was looking ALL OVER THE PLACE for a mature Kenneth Schubert and finally found her through an image search. I called and talked to the owner at length - very nice lady.
