Ascps Irene Dobkin X Phal Carmela's Pixie

Here is one of my newest bloomers. First blooming, but I can not take credit for it since it was in spike when I purchased it. I love the color and shape of this one.

Joann, I know what you mean. I have been drooling over photos of Ascps Jiaho's Orange for years. And as luck would have it when I was ready to get one they were no where to be found. This was the next best thing and similar breeding lines. This mericlone has bloomed with better form and color than the advertisement photo. Sometimes cloning does improve the original.

Beautiful!

Do you grow with basic Phalaenopsis culture?

Gorgeous!! I love Irene Dobkins, and this one is a very nice cross of it, it really kept the color. The leaves look very dehydrated though from what I can see in the pics.

Hi Maureen! At the moment I am getting it established in S/H. But as far as light and temp goes yes from what I have learned from others. Some say keep it drier; others say treat it just like other Phals.

Hi Camille! Yes they are... I am getting it to recover from being shipped bare root and a complete change of potting medium and culture. I had been keeping it drier as was suggested by the person I bought it from. With the combination of that, culture change, and little roots it has gotten too dehydrated. A few weeks ago I've stepped up the watering. Should be getting some improvement soon.
