help needed identifying vandaceous - Orchid Board

#1 07-01-2011, 09:07 AM

Hello,
I bought this seedling as Ascocenda Peggy Foo couple months ago.
Looking at how the leaves are wide comparing to my Ascocenda Princess Mikasa, I now have doubts that it is in fact ascocenda seedling. Doesn't it look more like rhynchostylis seedling (which I don't mind)?
Please help me to find what genus it is.
Thanks a lot for your help.

At this stage it's too early to really tell, but I'm willing to bet it wasn't mislabeled. I think you got what you paid for.

can't help you out - but wanted to say I love the bowls you have the plants in - how big are they, and where did you get them?

Philip is correct! Way too early to tell.

Thank you guys. I will not worry about it for now and will just treat it as my other vanda seedlings.

WhiteRabbit, I found vases in the local buck store - dollarama. They have those vases in different sizes and shapes at only $2. The one on pictures is about 4.5 inch tall. My bigger seedlings are in the 6.5 inch tall vases(you can see them on the background).
I like them because they have thick and heavy bottom, so they are very stable.

There is no possible way to tell at this point. In fact it will probably be several years before you get a bloom that may or may not help you identify it. I would just assume that the tag is correct.

Thank you tucker85. I will just leave the tag as it is and will wait for blooms (if they ever appear).

cool - thanks - I have thought I should check out the dollar stores - was looking for something for an Ascda, finally just repotted it, but I'll keep my eye out for something like this
