Hello all, my name is Carol and I am a lover of phalonopsis orchids, I currently have 10 although only two are in flower at the moment. I am planning on buying my 11th in the morning.
They are all no ids but no less beautiful for that. I am hoping to learn how to coax the others into flower and keep them there for longer.
Carol

Welcome! There is nothing wrong with nameless orchids. I have a noID dendrobium that beats out everything that has an ID in my collection. : ) I am not certain what exactly makes the phals bloom but hopefully an expert can help. Hope you have fun here!

Welcome to Orchid Board Carol, from a fellow Brit

I love some of my NoID orchids, some of them are the strongest growing and most reliable of my collection. While I tend to buy named ones now there is nothing wrong with un-identified ones and the odd new NoID still gets added occasionally when I just can't resist

Hello Rosie and thankyou for the welcome, I am in danger of running out of space for my collection, I simply can not walk past an phalanopsis orchid without stopping to look.
