I was at IKEA today and noticed this odd looking phal and i looked at it more closely and it was peloric

! well, i got it! this is my only peloric phal. will it always be peloric?

(that's a five inch pot)

Hard telling Cullen. Is it a NOID? If it's line bred for peloria then it should continue to bloom that way. If it's not it could switch back and forth.

Guess you'll have to wait until next bloom cycle to find out!

I had always thought that once peloric, always peloric but as Terri mentioned, not necessarily so. I recently learned this since spending more time here on OB. If I'm not mistaking though, I do believe that chances are better for it to continue blooming as peloric than not.

I happen to enjoy them. They add curiosity to the mix.

Enjoy yours, it's very pretty!

Here's my peloric NoID....

Awesome find Cullen, I didn't know anything about them before I bought one at the HD.
I was told they could change back next blooming.
Nice one Sandy, heres my NOID

Hi Cullen,

For the most part I think that the peloric bloomers are way cool...which is indeed the case here.

That's a way cool find you've got there!

Like Sandy, I've heard that once a plant blooms peloric, it will always bloom peloric.

I suppose that time will indeed tell.

Sandy,

I believe that your NOID here is a Phal. Baldan’s Kaleidoscope peloric. This is a cross that is prone to producing peloric blooms, and the petals on your plant have the same markings I've seen on others.

I believe David is correct. That looks like Phal BK. I have several Phal BK's but only this one has any dirction toward being peloric. You can see the small "pinched" area on the petels. The 2nd one is a small plant that has crown rot but using hormone paste we have 2 or 3 potential keikis growing

Doc, those two are gorgeous!! The BK is neat, I like how the 2 petals are curved in like that.
