Phalaenopsis tetraspis seedling

[Gin]

Here is one of mine taken a couple of years ago . It is now mounted on a slab with the roots up . I would be careful of s/h with a seedling . Nice choice one of my favorites .. Gin

If well grown it will produce multiple spikes each season. Do not cut the spikes on this species unless they turn brown. They will remain viable and produce blooms the next year in addition to creating new spikes.

The amount of color on the blooms is also influenced by temperature. The warmer the temps, the more colorful random dots on the bloom.

Everybody needs one (or many) of these intriguing phals.

Brooke is very skilled in her phal enabling prowess...especially with that terrible and wonderful arsenal of photos of marvelous plants she has!

I saw this one at my OS meeting last sunday and I was too poor to get it. I've been saving loose change since...and by next month, I shall have one of my own....muahaha
