Phal Aphrodite...variegated???

[Zildjian]

acquired this plant last sunday and was intrigued by the not too obvious variegation on some of the leaves. The plant has several basal keikis & keiki's on old spikes. The keiki's though don't have the pattern. Obviously this is not the same variegated aphrodite from taiwan.

Hi George. When I hear "variegated", I envsion leaves looking like the Phal. amabilis below.

yes that's the variegated from taiwan and was rumored to be virused. your plant though looks not with keikis already. mine is not from taiwan and has that yellowing on the edge but not that defined compared to yours. I wonder if there is a natural variegated phals in the wild?
