| my Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana 'Da Wu Mountain' is a stem prop from a jungle grown plant. this species is now considered extinct from the wild. i paid dearly for this plant not to brag or to show but to help preserve this. it now has a keikei growing on it which will be given to a grower in MO. who i know will do a great job with it. most of my phal species are jungle collected and i will be recieving a gigantea tomorrow from the jungle as well now none of these are for bragging rights or to be entered into any show. but to help maintain some of the true species before they dissapear for good. maybe someday my grandkids might enjoy growing them if not they will be donated to the Phipps conservatory in pittsburgh to live a happy and pampered life |
