Rescue: Phal. White Dream 'V3' AM/AOS

[estación seca]

Hausermann sold me a White Dream V3.

Hausermann's has these on sale again in 6" / 15cm pots (out of bloom) for $13 plus shipping. If I were in the position of wanting a big white Phal I would buy one right now. It is extremely vigorous, easy to grow and flowers well.

E.S. - yes! Thank you. I ordered one from them and received last weekend before nights got too cold to ship. Great substance to this plant. They left a few cut spikes on it so maybe I can get it to bloom sooner than otherwise. Glad to hear confirmation that this is a really good white classic phal. Even with shipping $$ it was still approximately the same price I’d pay for one of the big and suffering ones at the big box stores, and this is so vigorous.

So far no one has asked: What are you doing about the rats?

Trapping.

Phaleonopsis ‘White Dream’ ‘V.3’ AM/AOS

Did I tell you all that I finally got one of these in Nov 2020? First time blooming.

This is the only named phaleonopsis I own, all the others are Noid rescues from the grocery store 1/2 price shelf. I bought this from Hausserman’s after receiving recommendations on this thread for a large classic white phal.

I like the large white phals and have got several NOIDs. What size have the flowers turned out PP? It looks lovely.

Thank you. Flowers are approximately 4.5” across and down. First blooming, so maybe gets bigger over years. Others on this thread have them, perhaps they got them to bloom larger. Very robust substance to the foliage and blooms.

FR, I just photographed it with a pen for scale.

Lovely PP, good size flowers!

They beat mine by a little. My NOID's flowers measure between 4 inches and 4 and a quarter.
