Anthony · #1 (**permalink**) 07-23-2009, 06:25 AM

I've bought these Phalaenopsis at different places, from IKEA (#1), small garden center (#2) and a huge garden center which sells them for only 5 dollar each (couldn't say no to #3 and #4).

#1
Flower width: +/- 7cm

#2
Flower width: +/- 7cm
Color: Very very light green

#3
Flower width: > 10cm
(#4 looks almost the same)

#4
Flower width: > 10cm

#3 and #4 in the living room (3 plants in basket)

Really nice flowers

I'm afraid there are so many Phal hybrids that if they are not tagged it's almost imposible to find a name for them.

They are just as pretty though without a name and all my Phals are NoIDs. The first looks very like one of mine which is in flower just now.

Wow, great haul. Very nice choices.
And great photos in your albums.

Discovered a hidden label today (behind the price tag

) Found this company: Floricultura

Browsing their catalog now ... too bad they don't have close up's of the flower.

Anthony, they are all pretty, but I especially like #2.

Did you notice their wholesale price list - no money in this for them at all - and they are growing their own clones - with all the expense that involves. No wonder the shops are full of NOIDs

To think I've paid 12,95 euro for it at the garden center.
+/- 10 euro profit for them ...

Anthony, they are all really nice, but Rosie's probably right on finding and ID's. Also, from the pics, it looks like your basket with 3 and 4 maybe have another inside in a small pot. Looks like you might have to name all 5 by yourself.

Bought 4 new Phals yesterday, one of them had a label on it. Tried a lookup on the name but didn't found a thing. Maybe someone recognizes the name or the flower and can help me find the full name?
