5 NoID Phal & 1 NoID Dendrobium
I feel like it's a long shot, but can anyone give a guess as to what these phals are? Or are they just mass produced Frankenstein hybrids? They were all rescue orchids, so I have no background.
The blooms are all over a month old, so they are not at their height of beauty, but I'm curious.
The first three pics are of large-leafed phals of unknown age. They are newer to the collection and are in baskets with bark and sphagnum.
The fourth pic is of a phal with medium leaves. It's at least 4-5 years old as I've had it mounted on driftwood for at least that long. It hasn't grown very much in size and only maintains three very healthy leaves at a time. I say. medium leaves, but in comparison to the first three and to others I see in stores, the leaves are small.
The fifth pic is of a little phal that is at least 3-4 years old mounted on the same driftwood as the other. It is a tiny little thing: 3 leaves about 4 inches long? It is either full grown or its growth is stunted given its growing conditions.
The last pic is of a phal-type dendrobium, not a phal. But, again, just curious if it can be ID'd.
