Phalaenopsis taxonomy
 

Well done, thanks for preparing these pages! I have bookmarked them.

Thank you! I found that to be very helpful in understanding how the groups are related. It was interesting. I'll bookmark it.

I made this a sticky thread for easy access :)

I'm glad that you like this message.

I just want to bump this back up because altough it's a sticky people who read via 'New Posts' or 'Todays Posts' might have missed it, just like I had.

This is a fantastic resource. I've been trying to explain to a friend the difference between the type of species Phals I am now really taking an interest in and the mass market hybrids... I look at this and see that all the ones that have that certain 'look' which I couldn't describe are all part of the sub-genus Polychilos.

I hadn't even realised that sub-genus, section and sub-sections existed but it all makes such wonderful sence with these pics and I can show my friend just what I mean.

I notice that none of these look particularly like the mass market hybrids... which all look very similar to each other when you see the variaty of Phal species here.

How did I miss this? It is a great Sticky! Thanks for the bump Rosie.
