Phalaenopsis zhejiangensis
I have had this for at least 3 years. This is its first bloom. It only bloomed after I kept it so dry this winter that it lost all of its leaves. Not fragrant, but very intricate and "neat".

Wow, really unusual - you'll be glad to see it flowering after you changed it's cultural needs - watching a Phalaenopsis lose it's leaves (even if it is natural) must be a scary thing 😮

Each leaf at maximum length is about 1.5 inches. The spike is 3.25 inches.

Absolutely! Most Phalaenopsis hybrids and species die for me and I thought that this was following in their footsteps. I'm glad that it didn't. |

First time I've ever heard of this species. It's incredible. Exquisite.
Where did you find it?
Congrats on blooming and on taking such an excellent photo of it.

I got it at a local orchid show; I think was from a vendor from Louisiana. |
