Phal bastianii/mariae

[Rick]

Hi All.

These phal are imported from the Philippines. The first is phal mariae and the second is phal bastianii. Hope this will help a bid. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. If a closeup needed, let me know.

I'd like to see a closeup of the lips of each, and a whole plant shot of each to see a good comparison of the ascending vs descending spikes.

I don't have a source for mariae, but orchidtn has bastianii for sale on eBay (U.S.) as a Buy It Now for 6.99 each. I just purchased one this morning.

if anyone desires a bastianii seedling, I must have four now, all hoping to get mariae, but all are from Oak Hill so are bastianii

hey, guess what! I was doing a mariae google search last night, and found this link

turns out it's a picture I posted back seven years ago, a plant I think which is now dead but the plant was definitely mariae
irony is terrible... I had forgotten that the picture was still on our orchid club website

mariae source soon

I talked with Oak Hill, and they said that they have some identified phal mariae in the works, and should have some in a little while. Tom Harper identified the plant they have as phal mariae.

Good to know. I'll keep my eyes out for it.
