Phaius australis

[OrchidLover1982]

Welcome. Glad you like the pics. The confusion still exists here in Australia in the orchid world as many are unwittingly selling wallichii as australis seemingly through ignorance and its hard to get through to them to tell them what they have is an Asian species and not australis at all. I think wallichii is more appealing to growers at is is not a selfing plant the flowers tend to stay on the plant longer. Most australis are selfing plants. I have heard non-self pollinating plants exist but to this day all the australis I have seen are selfing by nature.
