Pacific Monarch?

[jennifer62]

Im wondering is my "Pacific Matriarch" a Noid, a Phrag or a phads? I am very new at this. Also live in Alaska where it will be super cold come winter. No window in the bathroom but nice humidity after shower. From what I read so far the Orchid needs constant humidity!? How about artificial light for my Pacific beauty? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the site to check for the parents of your Pacific Matriarch. Search under the Grex tab. I checked, and couldn't get a match. Is there more to the name?

There's no orchid I know of that's abbreviated "phads." Since you mention Phrag, I'm guessing you mean Paph?

I searched the RHS database. There's no orchid that's been named Pacific Matriarch. I did some more searching elsewhere and found a reference to a Beallara Patricia McCully 'Pacific Matriarch'. Does your orchid look like this?:

Hmmm, that's strange because it was working when I posted it. Let me try again.....

it's not really clear what you're asking about.
there is a Paphiopedilum Pacific Monarch, but no Pacific Matriarch.
Pacific Beauty could refer to a Dendrobium, Odontioda, or Paphiopedilum.

Kevin, your links will only work if the person viewing the thread has already seen that image on the Pbase site. The Pbase Help site has a section on direct linking.

this should work: (Beallara Patricia McCully 'Pacific Matriarch')
