I just bought this one last week. I was told because of the alba, the blooms will all vary slightly in their coloring, from one plant to another. Mine has three stems, one which looks like it's bloomed before, but nothing ready to bud that I can see...so far. How is yours doing this year? Is it in bloom now? I'm excited about this one.

Al, I thought of you the whole time I was picking out my phal. It was at Woodsprites and he was having a sale and he had so many new plants. I should have you on speed-dial. Honestly, I would have gotten you one in a heartbeat.

Why not Al????? It ain't summer anymore so you can handle the temps and I think you need your batteries recharged and a trip to Woodsprites would be just the thing..... I can put my chains on my tires and be there in no time... hey, Kiki wanna venture out again????

Why is it the only time you post is to tell someone the name of their orchid is wrong?

Because i'm a botanist and I don't like when plants are sold for what they are not

So if you buy a tetraspis var. alba more expensive than a "normal" tetraspis, that's not fair from the seller...

YOur tetraspis var alba will probably get red marks in some years... I also have a tetraspis labelled var alba (which I didn't pay). During 2 years the tepals were white (but not the lip) and then red marks appeared

But if you want to buy orchids for what they are not, you do what you want
