Phalaenopsis Chian Xen Pearl - Orchid Board

Bird Song Farm · #1 03-15-2008, 02:04 PM

A search of the web finds conflicting information about the name of this Phal. I am using information from the label. However I think that Pearl might well be a clonal name.
Would be interested to learn more if you find something.

It has one spike, 5 branches with 21 buds that take forever to open. LOL I think they are going to be very long lasting.

Very beautiful, Al!! That's going to be spectacular with that branching. I'll see what info I can dig up on Chian Xen Pearl...

Thank Cowboy51278,
Just the opposite here, I fell for hybrids first and only within the last 6 months have taken to species. Of course, the last six months have been so cold it's next to impossible to get them so this summer it's going to be hard on the mailman!!

Thanks so much Dorothy,
Dumb A** me didn't think to check Dtps. Getting old is no fun at all and don't let anyone tell you it is.

So, this is now a Phal., right?

It's all too confusing ..
