Com'on guys. Ole Dennis has put a second column and lip on a Phal. You can see the original column and lip pushed upwards and to the right and below it is a second column with a non phal-like lip with side lobes wrapped in a circular pattern like a Catt, but it isn't a Catt lip either.

So I call it a Dennyense Freakin' Fake.

Keeping with what was said, I'll go with
Phalaenopsis doweryensis x Phalaenopsis amboinensis
Though I am quite certain it's wrong!

Pat! I think you're on to something there!

How about Phal. Orchid World or Phal. Willowbrook on this site. . .look similar.

But there are a lot of them that look similar. . .sooooo, what is so special about this one that makes it rare, is a very good questions.


Is it rare because Dennis bred this one and all the other plants keeled over, leaving this one.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

this one is rare due to the fact unless you know someone who may still have this cross it is no longer available. now their is someone who has sarted remaking this cross and it has recently been awarded with a different clonal name
