Phalaenopsis equestris

[Call_Me_Bob]

Here is my small equestris 'Three Times a Lady' X 'Too Blue' it got a blue ribbon in the species category at this month's OS meeting!

sorry its only one photo and its not real high quality or lighting. ill get better shots when more flowers open hopefully

i accidentally knocked the pollen off of one of the flowers when photographing it though (saved the pollen of course!) so one of the flowers will fall off early.

im going to put pollen from P. Dotty Woodson 'Lennette' on one its flowers that opens soon.

Very cute phal blooms. I love the shape of the equestris. I will likely get one someday. Sorry about your den. I have knocked off my share of blooms and spikes. It is a wonder I ever see flowers.
