First spike to bloom out of four that grew on this plant with a ridiculously long name!!

Pretty flower, ridiculous name for sure! I can remember almost all my plants that have 'names' but not so much with those that are referred to by their cross. Would be a fun name if you can remember it all though.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice flower! The color reminds me of a grape Popsicle!

Very unique flower and it is beautiful! Post another picture once you get more flowers open! Is this one from Big Leaf Orchids?

[Alexk82]

Lovephals: I will post more pics for sure. I've actually only heard of big leaf orchids, I've never got anything from them I know of. In my city I met this guy who told me he collected and sold some orchids. I went there and his back yard had like five greenhouses and like a billion plants. I actually found it there when it was smaller. It grew two keikis before I got flowers.

Congrats on your growing it from so small, it is a really nice find!
If you are interested in unique phal hybrids I would look into his ebay listings. Really healthy plants (my absolute favorite phalaenopsis are from him)!! (Peter Lin) will also hep if you are looking for a specific phal, I recently got an unlisted variegated Phal. Hilo Lip from him in flower. These are supposed to be a more difficult phal, but I got growing tips from him as well and it has done very well for me!

Il def look into that. For a while, when I started collecting, I had zero interest in phalaenopsis in general but recently I seem to be fascinated with most of the species and good hybrids. I think the walmart/homedepot phals kinda made me not care to look into them. I got a bellina and a valentinii first and when they bloomed I was hooked. Il check out that peter Lin today. Thanks. If u ever are into trades or are looking for anything let me know. I have a collection that kinda got out of hand.

Nice bloom.

There is a shorter name for this cross, it's known as Phal Valentinii.



Judi

Really beautiful!

Yes it's Phal Valentinii, I looked it up then saw Judi had also given the shorter name But if the seller used that name they couldn't point out that it's parents were the particular clones/varieties that are given in the long name
