Phal. (wonky) equestris

[The Mutant]

One of my first equestris is blooming again. I've had it for about a year and this time it went for two spikes instead of the single one it had last spring.

All the flowers look the same, but I'm reasonably certain it's not a virus, but rather a mutation.

It's the most vigorous of all equestris I have, and I like its wonky appearance.

Beautiful equestris! where did yours come from? I got one from Hausermann's recently that hasn't yet bloomed.

Absolutely adorable! All your pictures of equestris forced me to buy one.

Gorgeous!!! Lovely mutation. Did it bloom normal last year? Keep me in mind if you get any keikis off of it.... One of my standard equestris went keiki crazy this year, there are 4 on the same spike!

I got this one from a member of the Swedish orchid forum I'm a member of, and she got it from a Swedish vendor, but where he got it from, I don't know.

Moahahaha! Worked as intended in other words.

Nope, it didn't and the mother plant, which the owner has had for at least five years, always blooms like this. She bought it because it looked different.

I'll definitely keep you in mind, but no Phals seem keiki prone in my home so far, not even the ones that are supposed to make them like mad... Maybe they can pick up my dislike for keikis?
