Phalaenopsis schilleriana 'Round Leaves'

[bigleaf]

This is one of my favorite Phalaenopsis schilleriana origianted from Taiwan. I called it 'round leaves' because its leaves are nice and round. They could be rounder but I have trouble keeping the humidity high here in North Texas. I have this plant since 2008 - and it has grew very well on this tree fern. Flower size is 8 cm. Alas, there is no fragrance.

This picture is comparing to Phalaenopsis schilleriana 'Pink Butterfly' AM/AOS. This is a clone that I grew in a 4 inch basket. Its roots are everywhere. Flower has excellent form, overlapping. About 6 cm NS. Again, no fragrance on this one.

And this picture is comparing to a wild open-form Phal schilleriana which has nice fragrance..smell like rose, very fragrant in the morning.

is 'Round Leaf' a polypoid? It is quite nice, and a different creature than the 'Pink Butterfly' or the wild type.

Whoa!!! You definitely have too many of them... The wild one seems to be more floriferous than the selected cultivars. Look at the number of spikes!

Yes and seems very compact with leaves around 9" long. I have the wild type too and have had leaves over a foot long.
