Neostylis Lou Sneary x random lowe's phal

[rtsingleton]

Was bored, had the flowers open, decided why not. Anyone wanna tell me the odds of it sticking?

50%. Either it will, or it won't.

No seriously, Neos and Rychostylis are Anagrecoids (I think) and are too genetically different than Phalaenopsis to breed. I don't think anything will happen except losing a few flowers. Sorry.

[Ray]

Actually, the rhynchostylis is considered to be a vandaceous orchid, and there are 6 registered rhynchonopsis hybrids.

There is also a registered hybrid of Neostylis Lou Sneary x Doritaenopsis Odoriko = Morieara Orikoboshi, and a single Neostylopsis Fukunokami (Neostylis Lou Sneary x Phalaenopsis Zada Kaala), so there is a precedent.

What was the name of the random Lowe's phal?

[rtsingleton]

noID phal, I'll try to take a pic before the blooms go...

[Royal]

I stand corrected. Statistically, the chances are still 50 % - either it will or it won't.

[rtsingleton]

Here are the pics, one of full flower and another of the naughty bits... I think some pollen got knocked down onto the lower part. Any help with an ID while we're at it would be appreciated.

Ray, your knowledge blows me away some days!!

[rtsingleton]

Ray, any guess on an id or general area plant may be?

[Ray]

It looks similar to a couple in my collection:

Brother Golden Wish


and less so to Baldan's Kaleidoscope


...from which I conclude you'll never know for sure.

Branching off a little bit, I have a RHV. Thailand x V. Tessalota...... Very nice except it hasn't bloomed for me yet. Has a spike preparing itself.

RHV = Rhyncostilis x Vanda
