Beautiful! A nice little plant. I got a piece of John M's plant (thanks John!) last year and am awaiting flowers....hopefully this year but more likely next spring.

Cool, something different!

It definitely has an extreme look for a phili. Interesting

Nice flowers!

I got a var. palawanense from Sam @ Orchid Inn, and it's a HUGE plant! I emailed Sam, and he said that originally it was a smaller size plant but it just took off and grew into a monster! Besides the supposedly smaller leaf span, what other characteristics set this variety apart from the other philippinense varieties?

I bought it one (supposed to be a selfing of var. palawanense) here in France. It was a 1 mature BS plant (50cm or more) but now it's even smaller (25-30cm) with many, many growths (15-20) but no bloom yet
The seller told me the same thing than you, he bought a small plant but the plant becomes bigger and bigger each year (but not the flowers)

Amazing colours and great shape!!!

The leafspan is about 20"

Compare Eric's to Rick's. You can see two extremes in the philie complex.

 

[SlipperFan]

I'll take one of each.
