Here it is, my Gongora galeata Three more spikes are on their way, but as you can see, one of the spikes has lost almost all the buds. Maybe I should just cut this spike..? Don't like to cut any spikes
ps Anybody know if this yellow type is called something more than galeata? It isn't a var alba type, is it?
No, 'var. aurea' is not valid, as it has not been described... I believe that the species is quite variable, so there are possiblities for the species to have many color forms... =)
It is very easy to grow and like the same conditions as Phalanopsis, but need more water and fertilizer. The little plant had 5 spikes, but this was the first and best. I recommend it!
The scent - don't know if I remember, maybe like orange?
