The spots form transverse bars, so I think this is sumatrana. What does yours smell like? Sumatrana and corningiana have very different smells.

I would get the speciosa x maculata cross just because it's rare. They're just seedling now though, so not sure what the flowers will look like.

Some Phal species

Hey everyone, a bunch of my species Phals are in flower, thought I'd share.

The Phal violacea is quite an old plant, I've had it since 2007 and it has bloomed many times. The callus doesn't seem...

This species is quite variable indeed. There is the classic tetraspis which is either all white or has transverse red bars. But the form that has random red petals or sepals, or your form which is...

This is Phal tetraspis. It sometimes goes by the name Phal speciosa. I must say this is a rare and great find!

The plant grew a terminal spike from the crown. Sometimes, when this happens, the plant will no longer be able to generate new leaves from the crown, and the plant will produce basal keiki instead. ...

Be patient and give it time. An orchid isn't dead until it's dry, that's my motto.

With age, the flowers actually take on a more greenish hue. At first I wondered if this was a true fasciata because there seemed to be more trichomes than expected on the lip. However, the flowers do...

Phal fasciata

This is the first flowering of a keiki I divided in 2013. The mother plant currently has two additional keiki and is also growing two new spikes.

Well, moving them to a new house and window definitely did the trick for me! Half my collection is spiking, some for the first time in many years!

Phal tetraspis C1

Hi all,
Had this Phal for like 8 years! Moved to a new house, found a new window, and now it's giving me two spikes! Pretty pleased with how it turned out. The other spike is only an inch long, but...

Okay from this angle, I'm actually less sure. It's pointing up, but there's a bit of white at the base which makes me wonder if it's a root in "breech" position as you say. Time will tell, either way.

Yeah, orchids can sometimes take a long time to recover, like weeks to months. I agree, just give it time and see what happens. I never give up on a plant unless it's dead and dry.

The other two leaves seem pretty big. So it's likely it will have enough energy to try to put out some new roots. I'd say give it the benefit of the doubt and see what happens the next few weeks. I...

Here I've got a Phal violacea, one of my oldest plants (in spike as well). You can see the nice roots at the bottom. They really love the aeration.

wintergirl: Yeah I live in the city so it's almost impossible to see the luna moths. They fly at night and only live for about a week as adults. Maybe one day I will find one!

It's not a common plant in collections and it's often mixed up with Phal mariae, which is closely related. There are also many hybrids of the two which are mislabeled as one or the other. But it puts...
