Phal Buena Jewel 'alba'

[Pete]

I simply love the coloration of this hybrid's flower. Anyone have "hands-on" experience growing this one and how floriferous is it?

Also, would Phal Buena Jewel 'alba' be difficult to find at a large orchid show?

Thanks.

I have experience growing one. I'd say they are no more difficult than any other "novelty" Phalaenopsis.

As far as finding one, novelties are not big money makers, so not many people carry them. Not many people carry novelties in general these days. I'd check Big Leaf Orchids.

Here is a pic of mine, but I have seen it bloomed much better. Good luck.

oooo - that's lovely! I'd buy one!
I searched and yes, Big Leaf does sell them

That's awesome. Don't you already have like 10 of those?! Like I said, just keep me in mind.

Remind me every now and then. I don't mind. These days nothing sticks to my brain.

Yeah, I have several, and I'd have 50 if I could afford or house them. I'm nuts for them.

What I'd really like to get my hands on is a Yungho Gelb Canary.
