DC--- 11th pic down in your 3/2 post.......
Is that Phalandopsis Little One? If not, it's a dead ringer. |
that is the seidria japonica
it looks a lot like what you mentioned as well bc it is the parent of that cross!! great eye |
I also think it's Phal Little One, you probably have a wrong label DC.

These are mine, I think my labels are correct... (Little One looks halfway between its two parents, if anything more like the Hygrochilus parishii/Phal hygrochila parent) So it isn't Sedirea japonica...but not so sure about Vandopirea (Phalaenopsis) LIttle One either though I have seen photos with a lot of variation so maybe.
|
It’s from marlows. Jim’s usually on point.

DC-Mine came from Jim as well. Maybe 5-6 years ago?
The tag is Vanda Little One which I believe is now classified as "Phalandopsis". Here's a pic of mine from last year as right now in spike but not open yet. |
Vandopirea Little One is now a Phalaenopsis because of the reclassification of its parents... Sedirea japonica is now Phal. japonica, and Hygrochilus parishii (which before that was Vandopsis parishii hence the nothogenus Vandopirea) is now Phal. hygrochila. So... with both parents now being Phalaeopsis, there aren't any more genera to put into the brew... Phalaenopsis it is. A really nice primary hybrid... mine is very fragrant, blooms twice a year, and lives outdoors even in my decidedly NOT tropical environment (as do its parents)
|
Bummer. I am glad to know what it is but that ain’t what I was sold
|
Any one can make a mistake... I have gotten mis-identified plants from the best of vendors... and they usually will at least corroborate an ID... I have never asked for a refund since I have been happy with what I got even if it wasn't what was intended. I did once get a free plant because of a mis-labeling. So worth at least bringing it to their attention. Could have been a whole batch mis-labeled, they may want to follow up with THEIR source.
|
Yeah I am not looking for any kind of freebie. Just confirming the id and then a source for a real japonica lol
I emailed Jim and sent a pic |

Wow, do you just grow the Restrepia outdoors? It can tolerate that sort of heat?
|
DC---- sorry if I ruined your day bud. I didn't realize I was asking a loaded question.
So, now that's it's been established that plant is now technically a Phal, why shouldn't I move all my other Phals into net pots and hang them in the misters under 50% shade cloth right beside Little One? |

I strongly agree on the light part.
On Roberta's advice I put my Phal hygrochila in a very bright spot, where most other Phal would be toasted. Looking at the leaves of your plant Keysguy, I think 50% shade already is the upper limit of a light demanding hybrid. (looking great though, nice root porn :biggrin:) |

Taxonomists can name it whatever they want, it's still a great species!
Now that you've mentioned it's scented, I'm even more eager for my seedlings to bloom! :hijacked: |
OK Roberta. Now you've got me thinking here.......
I do struggle with Phals that I have in pots and I suspect it's because they are too wet all summer. I started an experiment last year by mounting a few on cedar shingles. They're doing "OK" and blooming a bit with 2x/week waterings during the drier winter months but now I'm wondering if my next step should be net pots under daily misters. I'm planning a major overhaul of my shadehouse for the fall including new shadecloth and overhead pipes to add hanging space. Also, I want to shift my vanda area (where Little One lives) and its misting system across to south side for more consistent light getting to every row. When I do all that, is there any reason I shouldn't try a misting area for hanging net potted Phals under say 60 or 70% shadecloth? Am I crazy? I've probably hijacked DC's thread enough with all this.... |

We get almost constant trade winds off the ocean down here. My vanda misters run at first light and then 8 hours after (mid to late afternoon depending on when first light happens) and they are typically dry as a bone within an hour because of the wind.

I find that phals in our environment hate medium. I grow them a few ways but he happiest is mounted on wood in the shade. Now, many are hybrids so they will do whatever but I have 10~ species as well and they also like it. I water them in the morning if it is not a rainy day. |
How's your gigantea doin'?
|
Slow and steady. She pauses in winter so I just noticed the first new green tips on the roots.
I am going to take your advice and convert the mount into a wet mount. I’m going to wrap it in Rockwell cubes and maybe she will respond to the extra available moisture. Up to now she has received normal phal treatment so a little special care is well deserved |
Oh my. Please don't kill it, or I'll be ever more sad than you, and feel responsible for jinxing your plant :blushing:
Maybe Camille can chime in, she has much more experience with gigantea. |
I especially love that Epi. nocturnum. And the bird 'way up in the top of that bottlebrush tree... do you know what it might be? I can't zoom in enough to tell...
|
the Epi nocturnum is such a treat bc it always self pollinates and usually before they open!!
i would be money on a mockingbird but i did not ID it then |
Absolutely lovely and jealous of climate, as always. Keep sharing... I get a real vicarious thrill. :biggrin:
|
Lookin' good up there DC!
|
What's the epidendrum / prosthechea looking one (9) ? Very cool - I think I need one of those!
|
pros sceptera(SP?) i'll look at the tag tomorrow and correct myself
super fun plant that is new to me |

Glorious show! OK, I'm sort of weird, but it's that little leafless orchid, blooming nicely, that especially grabbed my attention... what is it?
|
Yeah DC, what is that, a Chiloschista?
---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ---------- and 4th pic....is that an Aspasia? Shape looks a lot like my principissa (God I love that name! :rofl:) which just started blooming but is a different color (yellow & white). Any trick to getting the Eria to bloom? I have one Jay gave me a couple years ago (he couldn't figure out what species it is so what chance do I have?) that grows like a banshee but hasn't bloomed for me yet. |
I have the Eria with my Dendrobiums. It was too hot in the cattleya table and other than that I just water and stay out of the way. Fully inorganic mix
The leafless in bloom is chiloschista so. NoID ‘northern Myanmar” I laughed at the seller when I asked why name a NoID and he said it was the tag he got so it remains....and so it does lol I took another pic in focus. It’s a super cutie ---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ---------- And the 4th pic is a white desert rose |
Sorry----4th pic on the 4/2 post?
|
Oh. It’s a zygote. Harlequin something or other. I can check the tag eventually

Going back to a prior discussion we had on this thread.......look familiar DC?
Now known as Phalandopsis (fmr. Vanda) Little One. (Vandopsis parishii x Sedeira (Phal.) japonica. |
