Phalaenopsis Mini Identification

12 years ago

Hello!

I just purchased the orchid pictured here but alas there was no tag provided. As a result, I don't know its name. I do know that it is a Phalaenopsis (and assume that it is in fact a miniature), but does anyone have any more information about it or any theories about its parent stock? I would really appreciate any information you might be able to provide.

Thanks so much in advance. :)

There are about 25,000 Phalaenopsis hybrid names registered with the Royal Horticultural Society at Kew.

You might get lucky if your plant is a widely produced mericlone (copy) and someone recognises it.

Maybe ask the question over on discussions and someone over there might be able to tell you which Phalaenopsis species pass on the Yellow colour.

@arthurm thank you very much for your suggestion! I have just posted my query on the orchid discussion board. :)
