cute mini phal - Orchid Board

neophyte · #1 02-07-2021, 05:18 PM

Just wanted to share a cute mini a friend gifted me a few years ago. The little thing's been blooming periodically throughout the year; I think it's been getting confused by the AC, since the orchid room is surprisingly quite chilly in the summer and periodically quite toasty in the winter due to the air conditioning. I think this particular hybrid made a couple rounds on several Trader Joe's a while back, since I've seen some pictures of pretty similar plants online (although like mine, none of them are named).

A very nice hybrid, indeed! Beautiful, and well grown.

Thank you! It's quite a pretty little thing.

Nice! I have a couple of these from Trader Joe’s too. Shortly after I got mine, Lowe’s got some identical plants in labeled Phal. Chingruey's Goldstaff TWM-9858. Not definitive, but I think this is what they probably are.

Very nice choice. Excellent line pattern and colour. Watermelon skin kind of pattern!

Thanks for very much for the clues! I think you are right.
