Have to crow!

[JamesK]

I got home from work today and found this!





I have a large blue pillow that I used for a backdrop.

I got it from Carter and Holmes for my birthday in November, and it just opened it's first flower! I'm absolutely pumped!

Cheers,

James

James, I really like that flower and nice growing. Do you have a name for that one? I might like to add that to my short list of Phals that I am interested in.

Phalenopsis New Wave 'Spring Meadow'

If you click on the photo, it takes you to a much larger picture posted on this very website!

Cheers,

James

it looks almost like my promenaea. is it possibly an intergenerichybrid, or purebred?

Dionysus,
I only know what the tag says. I ordered it from Carter and Holmes. Here's the link

James, I also have one of these, don't they smell sooooooo delicious!! Heavy flowery scent. (though for some reason mine is struggling a little bit. Any tips?)

That's very pretty, James. I love the yellow ones.

James,

Congrats, and crow all you want. A new bloom is always worth celebrating!

dionysus, as James stated, it's a Phalaenopsis. Phals and Promenaea won't interbreed. The term 'purebred' isn't used in orchids. We have species (wild) and hybrid orchids.

James, The yellow Phals. are sooooo pretty at this time of year. And those spots make a wonderful contrast. Good job of growing. Your bloom makes a really nice avatar. Be

JamesK: beautiful flower. Yellows are all special.

That's a beauty James. I love seeing when others get excited like you about their blooms. You're in the right place for that.

Enjoy!
