Phal. borneensis

[fbrem]

here are two examples of a species related to cornu-cervi in the Polychilos section

I like the contrast of the two. Very nice.

 

[biothanasis]

Wonderful both!!!

 

[Martin]

Nice beautiful blooms! But I think they are not borneënsis. Plants from Borneo from the section are still very confusing, especially lamelligera, cornu-cervi and borneënsis. It could also be, that there are transition forms between the species.
I think your plants are probably lamelligera.

 

[cnycharles]

the first one looks pretty big, and the little I know about this group is that true pantherina is quite a bit larger than the rest. other than that I have no clues

 

[SlipperFan]

Some day they will all be cornu-cervi.

 

[Lycaste53]

Beautyful flowers, I like them both, the first one a little more.

 

[NYEric]

Some day they will all be cornu-cervi.

Yep!

 

[W. Beetus]

I like the red of the second one!

2 years ago, I got about 20 plants form a batch labeled as Phal. borneënsis from an borneo import. But first I will show some pictures of Phal. borneënsis
which I made at Tenom agriculture park in Sabah:

You see, the really don't look like Phal. borneënsis. You can see some which look like normal cornu-cervi, cornu-cervi Sumatra type, lamelligera and some with pantherina influence. Just the last shown plant looks like Phal. borneënsis. Very funny, I'd relly like to know, how this goes.

 

[toddybear]

Stunning images!

 

[SlipperFan]

Wonderful -- they are all yours? I'm totally jealous.

 

[Martin]

Thank you!, yes, all my plants.

 

[biothanasis]

gorgeous plants & blooms!!!! WOW!! :drool:

 

[Russ1992]

Marin where did you purchase them?

 

[Rockbend]

What can you tell me about Phal. lemelligera? I grew out a flask of them from Taiwan many years ago, only have 2-3 plants left. They are difficult to set seed on: you have to remove the pollen from 1 flower, dry it in the greenhouse 1-2 days, and then put the pollen into another flower. Even then your chances of getting a pod are less than 50:50.

It was an phal import, which was made by a german nursery around 2009 or 10.

I guess that this problem has nothing to do with the species. I never had problems to get pods on my lamelligeras. Actual I have this problem with doweryensis. But I think it is a kind of culture problem.
