Phalaenopsis violacea (Malayan)
 

A friend passed me back a plant I had years before and it just bloomed with a beautiful dark pink flower. Grown in low medium light in bark and watered once a week and sprayed with RO water daily. The fragrance is sweet like the var belina but a bit more cinnamon like.

Is it violacea var. Malaysia or violacea from Malaysia? Or I don't understand? Second option is more possible hahaha but I want to buy violacea var. Malaysia and I wonder how it looks so I asked :)
It's fantastic so I would like to that will be violacea var. Malaysia :)

There's two varieties of violaceas. One from Borneo (East Malaysia) now called belina, and one from mainland peninsula West Malaysia called violacea var Malayan. That's the difference.

Thank you, It's something new for me :)

Almost a year later, this plant is blooming again, now with two spikes... Hopefully more flowers in a few weeks!

Still love this neon fuschia color!
