Unregistered Phalaenopsis Hygrochila hybrid?

[itzi]

I was looking at the progeny of Phal. Hygrochila and trying to find images of the ones that didn't have them on orchidroots. When I looked up "Vandaenopsis Scarlet Flame", the only images were from the ancestry page of the orchidroots page, and this one image from someones blog about the Montreal Botanical Garden. I'm not sure if this is the actual Scarlet Flame in the picture, because I couldn't find a mention of either the hybrid name or its parents on the blog. Either way, its absolutely beautiful and I would love to know more about it.

Tough call on this one. It could be the actual Scarlet Flame, but the pic gives me an Arachnis or Dimorphorchis vibe as well.

Phal hygrochila used to be known as Vandopsis parishii, so the plant you're looking for was not originally a Vandaenopsis but an Opsisanda.
It's possible that pictures and information about this specific hybrid exist, but under another name.

Why not shoot a message to the Montreal Botanical Garden?

Thats a good idea! Whats the best way to contact them with a question like that?

Wow! I encourage everyone to click that link and browse the pictures!

Add that to the many reasons to visit beautiful Montreal.

Random update, but I believe this is not a hybrid, but rather "Vandopsis lissochiloides", a very pretty and peculiar species!
