NoId Phal.
 

Anybody has any idea what kind of Phal. is this?

Hi Marrisa,

Your phal is called a "Peloric". It can happen because the plant was bred for this to happen or a genetic mutation happened to make the two petals resemble the third petal or "Lip" of the blossom.
As for a name, it is almost impossible to identify it. A NOID it will probably always be but you can call it anything you like!:biggrin:

I'm sure others will jump in with more detailed information. I've just scratched the surface.
Some folks like these blossoms, others don't, it's just a personal thing. I happen to like them and your plant sure looks healthy and happy!

This a pic of a peloric that "looks" similar to yours. It is Phal Taipei Gold x Cassandra #2. So you might use this as a start and try to google parents and find something more like yours. Dorothy mihgt be helpful here...she loves it when I volunteer her services..... :biggrin: :biggrin: :rofl: :rofl:

If you can't find a name how about- Phal Noid 'Something Special'. :goodluck:

Ahem .. Doc .. :tapfoot:

Of course I am always happy to help .. ;)
Marissa? did you get a name tag with this Phal or is it a NOID? :hmm

It is definitely peloric and the petal formation is known as 'lettuce-leaf' for the 'cupped' shape as mentioned by Al (Bird Song Farm) in this past thread - http://www.orchidboard.com/community...p-phal-id.html

See, Dorothy, I learned something from you today! I didn't know the shape was called 'lettuce-leaf'. I just thought it was peloric...or is it pyloric :scratchhead: :rofl: :rofl:

It's only pyloric if it's growing out of the end of your stomach into your small intestine (the pylorus).
:rofl:

And what do you pot it in? :rofl:
