Default New Phal NOID
Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me ID this unusual Phal? I just bought it at our local WalMart. I've never seen one before with such an unusual shape. The colors in the photo are very accurate, it's a vibrant green with coral/pink.

Thanks
Gloria

Hi, Gloria! That sure is a beautiful Phal you picked up! LOVE the color combo. Can't say I can help you out in the ID department, but you mentioned its unusual shape. This is what would be called a peloric flower.

Hi Yvan,

I'm glad you like the flower. It really is gorgeous in person. Thanks so much for the flower definition. I really appreciate it. I didn't even know there was a term for that type of flower.

Gloria

Wow I've seen peloric flowers, but this one is probably the most peloric I've ever seen. Peloric means that the two petals mimick the lip. I have read that peloria (if that's a word?) doesn't happen in every bloom. Next time it blooms it could have totally normal blooms or they could be peloric again. I think since it is so peloric it is going to be hard to tell what exact hybrid it might be. It is very pretty though!

Thank you all for the kind sentiments. I will put this one in my "prized" group once it's out of quarantine.
