Default Phal tetraspis

here is my tetraspis from dwayne. he did not want to sell me this due to the condition of the leaves, they were damaged in shipment to his place. three spikes four if you count the one branching. this has a very sweet fragrance. this has got to be one of my top favorites

Sweet!! It looks like the barring on the blooms is kind of random. Very cool.

Yet another nice acquisition Dennis. Congratulations.

The leaves don't look like they're in bad shape.

Lovey Dennis, I like the random stripe on the blooms. It gives it personality! :smile:

I didn't realize tetraspis was a sequential bloomer - nice! I'm waiting on mine to feel grown up enough to bloom. Your's are sweet

I just found out yesterday that the tetraspis is a fragrant phal. Its very nice!
I made contact with Dwayne, but he doesn't have any schilleriana's yet, but I think I may try his bellina var coeruela, since he's sold out of the violacea var coeruela. Thanks for the reference! Can't wait to place my order!!!!
Thanks again Dennis, and beaytiful pics!

Dennis, does Dwayne have a website? I'd hate to miss out on ordering more great orchids!
