Picked this up in bloom from Parkside Orchids after seeing it sit for a few weeks. I don't normally like to buy plants in bloom because I'm a klutz and I end up breaking at least one flower (and I did -_-), but I figured it'd be gone if I kept waiting. Tag reads (Mt Toro ' semi album' x lowii var. album 'Albino Beauty' CHM/AOS). Please forgive my criminal photography skills! Colors are as close to true life as I could get them on my cell phone's camera.
i miss that place. may i ask what the price tag was? shopping on their website isn't as fun as going there but i live in seattle now. no where close to parkside's orchids anymore
Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Geo, if you go to their website, you can get an idea of the price since it was the same as their other multifloral hybrids.
Hrmm, interesting...that's actually the flower I liked the least because it didn't have the wide petal stance of the other two ( it's also the one I broke - told ya, klutz). Is this pic better? Pity the NS is only 16.7 cm, I think it has good color and symmetry.
The flower is facing down in the other two, while the one in the middle shows how it really looks.
Yes, this new picture is even better.
I really like the overal shape and unique color.
It took on the beautiful shape of lowii and some twisting from other parents.
