Jackfowlieara Tzeng-Wen Prince Azalea

[gjanick2]

I ordered 8 orchid plants (they sent 2 freebies) and they sent me 10 from a great dealer in Guangzhou China. Guangzhou is not too far away from Zhuhai China (where I live). I believe Guangzhou is China's 3rd largest city.

Anyway, the plants that they sent to me are very healthy and in beautiful condition and quite large, many in spike or even blooming.

This Jackfowlieara may be my single best orchid that I own. I did as much internet research as I could, and there is very little out there on Jackfowlieara Tzeng-Wen Prince, and their is nothing that I could find on the variety Prince Azalea. The Guangzhou dealer knows their stuff. They are great with Western nomenclature and scientific names. My plant is definitely the Prince Azalea, maybe making it quite rare (I hope). The dealer only grew 2 of these, so I am happy to have acquired it.

Anyway, the stems grow unusually quite tall. My plant has two sheaths, and the dealer told me that I will have blooms in the not too distant future.

I have attached five pictures. The first two pics are of a previous bloom. the next three pics are of the plant I now have.

I of course am planning to be able to someday post pics of this plant in bloom.

If anyone has any knowledge to give me, please feel free to do so! Thanks, Greg.
