Phal Malibu Madonna
I saw this at Lowes today and couldn't resist it. I assume it's bred from Hilo Lip or a similar line.

Gorgeous! My Phal 'Malibu Bistro has :Phal Prince Puck x Phal Kathleen Ai as parents. Maybe yours share one parent or grandparent with mine?

According to Orchidwiz, the cross is:

It is a beauty Tony, unusual to see the lip a lighter color than the rest of the bloom.

I'm a sucker for this type of breeding. My only other Phal is a Hilo Lip, which is the original Pink/White lip hybrid.

Love to have a Hilo lip Phal. Amazing the plants that pop up in Lowes and HD.

More so Lowes, for me, than HD. My absolutely best and most favorite Oncidium is from there (long story). It was a NOID, but a great favorite, none-the-less. One section from the original pot now has two VERY robust spikes (1/4" or so, in diameter) and other section (actually an old backbulb that was rootless in the original sphagnum-pack pot) has a single thick spike. I'll do a seperate thread rather than hijack this one  |
