I am showing some of the lesser known
Phalaenopsis species from Malaysia. I like them because they are very free flowering year round and easy to care for. All plants shown are from my collection.
Phalaenopsis violacea - The National orchid of M'sia. Highly fragrant! This is my 20+yr old plant which is a selected form with hi-green on the petals and good form. This plant is highly regarded in its natural form and for hybridization.
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is a delightful plant which can take on bright light and heat. I like this species a lot because it blooms year round with with multiple spikes. I used to have 400+ plants tied to the various trees in my garden and it's joy to see them bloom all the time.The plants below have been with me for more than 10 yrs and still blooming crazily!
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi Selected Dark Red - This is a very rare jungle collected plant which has very deep red coloration. It is a 12 yr old plant with multiple spiking year round.
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi Alba - An
Albino form of this species. Hell,
Alba's cost a bomb and I was too busy collecting them to realize it!
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi Selected Form#1 - This particular plant is an extremely free bloomer with multiple spikes. The uniqueness of this plant is the clear area on both the lower petals.
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi Selected Form#2 - This plant has good markings and form.
