tetraspis C#1 - Orchid Board

I have this plant since 2 years and it has flowered the first time in march 2009 with 2 white flowers. Now a couple of months later there are some red areas at the sepals & petals.

It looks pretty like that

I wonder if it is due to some light or heat extream. If you look the red would sort of all line up to one point when the flower was in bud. Especailly as the other flower is still white.

Hehe.. looks like someone spray painted your bloom.

Very interesting!

Awesome, and thanks so much for sharing. I bought a tetraspis a couple months back, they are one of the prettiest Phals in my opinion!! Great pic by the way!

Wow. That's a beauty of a bloom!

This gives me hope my C#1 will eventually bloom with some blotches of red on the petals. Last fall and this spring they have been all white.

Yours is beautiful - thanks for posting.

I wonder if you have to hit them with higher light to get the red blotches or if they just do it when they feel like it.

At any rate yours is lovely Knert. I've wanted one for a long time too. I may order one from Dwayne at Dowery when he reopens.
