Phal. bastianii and tetraspis red form

[Ryan.Walsh]

I posted these over at Big Leaf but thought I would post here too.

First up Phalaenopsis bastianii. This one came from Little Frog Farm and is setting up for a very impressive display later on. Two spikes in bud with two more starting out and a keiki growing on one of the spikes to top it off. The more yellow colored flower in the background of the second pic was selfed on 4/15 and is nicely developing a capsule. This one has been growing like a weed in s/h with weekly doses of MSU at 125 ppm N.

Next up is Phalaenopsis tetraspis red form. This came from Michel Orchids with the only information that it was from red breeding. My suspicions are that it has the C1 clone somewhere in it. This is the first flower to open but the mounted plant has 2 spikes getting reading to open buds. Should be quite a display as they open.
