Phalaenopsis Little Sister
O rage! O despair!
O inimical tag mismatch! Have I then grown this Phalaenopsis so long only for this disgrace? Corneille, Le Cid, loosely interpreted Got this plant earlier this year, as a Phalaenopsis maculata. The growth pattern, the leaves, the tag; everything says "maculata", except for... the blooms. My guess is on Phalaenopsis Little Sister (maculata x equestris), but this specific one didn't even get the equestris' ability to make billions of flowers. Still a cute lil flower, it will look nice when all of them open. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...06af3766_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1da2fc9a_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e21ac911_o.jpg |
Yep, nice Phalaenopsis maculata x equestris. Probably at least worth a mention to the vendor, to quell the rage and despair a bit. Sometimes a gnashing of teeth and rending of garments can go a long way to salve the broken heart. :biggrin:

That is a nice bloom to be disappointed with.

Beautiful flowers, none the less!

Yup, wasn't suggesting rudeness. If they're a frequent vendor of yours they'd likely want to know.
|
What a nice cross though. I think I would like this better, but thats just me. Good luck finding P. maculata in the future, and thanks for sharing this little gem
|
To be clear, don’t gnash your teeth, gnash theirs lol
A brilliant stowaway at least. It could be worse! If they are the kind of vendor who is generally giving, I am pretty sure they will be horrified and want to make it good for you |
True DC, I'll try to negotiate a Vanilla planifolia capsule so I can sow the seeds :biggrin:
Another good thing about having friendly greenhouse owners nearby is that I can get tons of pollen! |
Fantastic blooms! I used to have a Phal Little Sister some years bak, but sadly it died after a little over a year in my care (can't remember what happened to it).
Does the vendor still have any of thes mislabeled plants? Over the years I've vaguely kept an eye out for a replacement plant when browsing vendor websites, but have had no luck yet. |
