Phalaenopsis philippinensis

[Bud]

Thank You ! for coming to visit and for your kind comment

You have great taste Bud, what a beauty!!

Evan, my leaves about the same size as yours, mine is also in spike, over a foot long now. So I think its safe to say you have a bloom size orchid on you're hands

[Bud]

Thank You, Gloria ! I cant wait to see the pictures of your plant when it opens its blooms.

This is a keiki of the mother plant first posted that gave me longer spike almost 3 feet bigger flatter flowers and the leaves are rounder than the elongated leaves of the mother.

A stunner! The leaves are what made me get a schilleriana but yours to me is unusual. And nice job with the vase!

You had me at "it's fragrant". Will be on the lookout, unless you have more keikis available

[digriz]

Wow, what a spike!

Gorgeous, Bud! Your vandaceous plants are always superbly grown. Thanks for the fragrance info, I never knew this species had a detectable one.

Have you ever thought about mounting one of these? I love how they look when leaves and spikes can grow pendant, and for me anyway most Phal species are much easier to maintain on a mount, low humidity or no.

The leaves have a more rounder shape than the mother.

I was surprised how long the spike is on this plant while the mother have only a foot long spike.

Thanks for the kind words Nat!

I tend to keep my plants the way I got it from the grower. I inherited a mounted Phalaenopsis cornu cervi and I maintain it that way. You are right, the mounted one did not grow less than the potted ones.

I love this one, even when not in bloom, the leaves are very pretty!
