Phalaenopsis appendiculata

[Ricky]

Maybe the smallest Phal but nice flowers if you get very close.

At the moment it has 5 flowers at one stem and more are coming.

barely resembles a Phal. to me, quite an oddball but very beautiful, thanks for sharing this one.

No, it isn´t.

I always enjoy this one. Look at the size of the lip compared to the rest of the bloom. Beautiful purple color.

if/when dwayne lowder/dowery orchids has another sales list, he often has appendiculata for sale, good price, plants in great shape. I once received one that had a seed pod on it! ... just can't keep them alive though last time was the longest survivor

I think he said it would be next Spring.

Oh, my!!! This one is in my wish list for ages!!!! I love it! But I cannot obtain it since I cannot find it anywhere.. (rarely on ebay, but couldn;t bid on it... )

Charles, what did you find difficult in growing it??? Any clues? Ricky, could you tell us how do you grow it??? TY

 

[Ricky]

It´s in one of my vitrines ( or orchidarium, what´s the right word? ) at room temperature, i´m watering it once or twice a day.

Can you find it on this picture?
