| P. Magic Kiss Blooms     The inflorescence was broken on this plant when I bought it a while back. It grew some more buds and the first one just opened a few days ago. I just love the colors on the flower.

| That is magical. It is not too often that a Phal make me do a double take, but this one did. Thanks for sharing. |

| That is a very nice little peloric phal you have there. Thanks for sharing. This one goes on the wish list. Does anyone have an estimate for the % of a cross showing peloria to in fact be peloric? Or another way, probably not ALL P. Magic Kiss are peloric, what are the chances that any one P. Magic Kiss would be peloric? |

| I'm not sure. But something I think is interesting that I saw at our local Meijer grocery store is that they had three peloric phals at the same time. Two of them were Brother Sarah Gold and the other was Baldan's Dream. So I'm wondering if those two were from the same pod and that had produced multiple pelorics. The place they get them from usually sends two or three pelorics a month to them. They did have one that had two almost completely developed lips on it one day but just my luck I had no money.

| Darn, I wanna shop there, I love (LOVE) peloric Phals. Some look funny, but most of them are really cool. My peloric equestris is in spike right now, can't wait.

| In the other thread involving this Phal, we learned that the name of this orchid is unknown. The "Magic Kiss' part is apparently a cultivar name but the grex (hybrid name) has been (stupidly) dropped by a breeder or seller somewhere along the line. Does anyone with OrchidWiz or Wildcat find any records for Phals with the cultivar name of 'Magic Kiss'?

| Kmarch and everyone else, I am giving this thread a bump because I would be very interested to know too. |

| Agreed. I've also got the curiosity bug and I've been on the hunt. Needless to say, I found another site selling a Phal Magic Kiss, but it looks nothing like Kortney's. Easy Orchids

| I think as of this point my beautiful NOID. I will just refer to it by nickname as Magic Kiss like I would name a frog Chauncy, lol. Jenny that same site was the only one I could find too! My other one I got at Lowes at the same time is named just like this one so it's a NOID with a nickname too. It has beautiful flowers but I don't think it will recover from the crown rot that was presenr when I bought it. I got the rot dried up but no new anythings except for roots and the two more flowers.

| Peloric happens when there is some kind of genetic mutation in the flowers. If you look close on the two petals with the yelow in the middle there are actually raised tags there. This is a genetic "defect" if you will. I think it is very beautiful though. Some pelorics can form more than one lip even. Here are some links for you: Peloric Orchids Napa Valley Orchids - Picture of peloric Orchids Cell Research - Abstract of article: Transcription analysis of peloric mutants of Phalaenopsis orchids derived from tissue culture peloric - Google Image Search

| Sabien~ I'm sorry but your Phal is not Peloric. Peloric is where the lip of the flower mimics the petals.

| Here are some pics of Peloric orchids that I pulled from the net. The first one actually belongs to our very own Sandra.
