Phalaenopsis taenialis

[orchid-eric]

I really like this one. I haven't seen it before in the u.s.

well I got it yesterday, its on a stick and its tiny
Its in spike, so the challenge is to get it to bloom.......and grow. I have it tucked in between my zygo's as cultural preferences are similar.......

Looks like one of the deciduous phals. Like wilsonii, or such. Great species!

actually phal toenail ( mentioned previously by Daethen, and I see quoted on other OBs ) may be a good description for the size of the flower as well as name. Its probably going to be 1/2 the size of my little toenail.
I also have a phal wilsonii on its way from a vendor in China. The comparison is going to be interesting.

I'll post a photo sometime.

Cool! I have a taenialis too. The first thing it did when I got it home, was to lose it's pathetically small and only leaf. I didn't worry though since it had two root tips growing very well, and since I thought it might be a deciduous Phal. It's now growing a new little leaf, so it seems to like my care somewhat at least.

It looks like a rodent from the side....... Cool!
