Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim

[DirtyCoconuts]

i usually just put all my plants in the other thread but i realized that if i don't name a picture properly then no one who is actually looking for information about the plant can find the pics or the info so i will duplicate the some of the pics for the benefit of anyone seeking actual information and not just pretty pics

lip is not all the way opened in the pics and it is one of four buds on the spike.

it is grown mounted on a frangipani tree in a very large terra cotta pot...full sun, no shade until after 4 pm.

watered incidentally by predawn sprinklers and very rarely fed or fertilized...it probably gets fed twice a month once when i do a kelpmax for all the plants and once when i do Inococur...

very nice!

the flower below is from a different plant that i was told was the same as the above...they are clearly different but i wonder if it is a variation or a completely different species/hybrid

much sharper top to the lip

Probably just 2 different clones of the same grex.
