Mystery Tolumnia

[cb977]

This was the 2nd orchid in my collection...the tag says ViseaPhal but that is a whole new level of wrong

Seems to be a Tolumnia, very cute

Where did you get it? Looks like one that I've been blooming out called Teipel's Goldbar, but there are a lot of yellow tolumnias...

Thanks for sharing!

Love it!

The pseudobulbs look quite large for a Tolumnia. I know that Tolumnias have pseudobulbs but they are normally very very small and enveloped by the overlapping leathery fan shaped leaves.

I have some Tolumnia hybrid seedlings that I have just deflasked and they look different to your little gem.

so, more buds have opened and I love it

The tag says Viseaphal x Suntan. I bought it as a tiny little mounted plant over 2 years ago from a very reputable vendor. I asked him recently what he knew about it and he was aware that at the time I bought it, there was a mistake on some of the tags. I have many of his plants and I love them all, this incorrect tag was a glitch and because I love everything he grows, I'll let this mistake pass. It happens to the best of us

Anyway, I mounted it on my never-ending driftwood project and it'll never be entered in any shows so the name problem is not a big deal.

It's very cute
