P. Schilleriana 'Lavender'

[camille1585]

It's going to look gorgeous once all the buds are open! Love schilleriana, it's such a wonderful phal; great leaves, lots of blooms, usually fragrant. Can't think of anything better!

I've been searching high and low for this one in Europe, but despite it being such a classic when it comes to species phals, it's proving to be impossible to find a vendor that carries it. Did find a place that has seedlings, but I'd like one that a bit closer to blooming!

You really can't ask for anything more in a phal!! I agree!!

This plant threw a keiki last Spring that I removed from the plant in the Fall. Believe it or not, the keiki (now its own plant) has about a 9 inch spike. It isn't far behind the mom plant in terms of blooming.

I'd offer it to you but I'm not sure it would be worth the money spent sending it over seas.

really ryan??!! your making me jeleous

At least its a good kind! I'm glad to be able to share these beauties with you guys. I have OB to thank for my success.

I've just being patient and regularily checking vendors just in case they start selling them. Or else I'll get the seedling, and be very patient!
Another thing about this orchid that I read on internet a while back is that it's capable of growing keikis off its roots, usually on mounted plants. Not how cool is that!
