I just received a Phal tetraspis Jaiho Red from Seattle orchids. I'm told its very similar to this one. I hope so, because yours is beautiful!

I have seen the photo of 'Jiaho's Red', and it looks similar to mine. The lip of 'Jiaho's Red' looks a little redder than mine, but it could be due to the photo or culture condition. I hope yours will bloom soon. Are you happy with the plants from Seattle Orchids? They have some interesting species, but I've never ordered from them.

I'm attaching the photo of the whole plant. The 1st photo is about 1 month ago, and the 2nd photo is 13 mo ago when I got it imported. So it was already a big plant from the beginning with 1 old flowering stalk.

Mines pretty small, but I think it looks healthy. I was told it is 1 year to 18 months from blooming and it is in a 3 inch pot. I'm thinking of putting it in s/h.

It looks healthy, Joy! I noticed that the leaves of mine has much darker color than yours. Light intensity usually influences foliage color, and I put mine at very low light (but it is growing/flowering well). I've started to think that light spectrum also influences the color. With red/blue LED grow light, most of phals and paphs seem to become greener than those under the florescent light.

Very nice and great info. I hope you can figure it out eventually.
