By the way, is phal Pulcherrima renamed as buyssoniana? some results show phal Bonita is a cross between Stuariana and pulcherrima.

Doritaenopsis Bonita is a cross between stuartiana and buyssoniana. Phalaenopsis Bonita seems to be a hybrid between Juanita and Mambo. At least according to RHS.

I Googled Dtps Bonita and only found a few images and they looked like mine, but when I Googled on Phal Bonita, a lot of interesting and similar looking Phals appeared. Interesting...

Oh, I have NO idea... As I wrote, according to RHS it's a hybrid between stuartiana and buyssoniana. If pulcherrima and buyssoniana are now considered being the same species, I'll leave for someone more knowledgeable to answer.

Just have to show you my two primary doritis hybrids together. One of the reasons why I bought Dtps. Bonita, was that I figured it would look adorable together with my Dtps. Purple Gem 'blue', and it sure does!

Wow~ is that a real life color in this photo? I love that violet blue one! I have to get it!!! if I can't find it, I'll have to come get a keiki from you in Sweden! serious!!!

The color on the purple gem is so beautiful!! Outstanding color! My Kenneth Schubert blue star x Pulcherimma blue pales in comparison! I wish Hausermann would carry your beautiful one in their nursery!

Now is this a mini phal?
I have a super small phal hybrid with flower shape look the same basically. different color though.
Thing is it only has about two flower at a time, but it keeps on adding more buds.
I'd rather have a few to many flowers open at a time. oh, well...

I think mine has pulcherrima in it somewhere.

The genus Doritis are normally sequential bloomers. That's why only a few buds open at a time. They are also typically compact growers with lovely small flowers and very straight, long, spikes. They tend to add these qualities to their crosses as well.

The first time I saw the pic of your mini phal in the thread you created for it, I thought it looked like it had a lot of Doritis in it.

Oh, hmm. No the colour is not what it looks like IRL unfortunately, it's waaaay too blue, sorry about that guys.

Here's a better photo in regards to accurate colour representation (the colours are a bit too saturated though):

Not blue like in the previous picture, but still a gorgeous purple. Love it!
