Phalaenopsis appendiculata

[theshatterings]

Currently in bloom is this Phal appendiculata, probably my favorite mini phal species. It has been flower for since April, but I didn't get a good picture until now.

Nice pics, the flowers are likely smaller than these images

Nice.

 

[theshatterings]

Thanks all : )

Yes, pictures are way bigger than the actual bloom. It's probably the second to smallest Phal after zhejiangensis.

Very nice color! It seems to be much bluer than the typical of this species.

Wonderful species. Before I took a break I was looking for this species all over. Difficult to find in the U.S. You've rekindled that fire.

Is it really that purple?

Wow, that's a nice one!

I didn't manipulate the photo and I think it's quite accurate to what I see, but yea, this plant has rather saturated petals and lip. That's why I selfed it!

Yey! I hope it will work! :clap:

If you get them going and need to unload put me on the list!

Very cute.

O.k., I've been had or this is a very special appen. Mine
is very different in color and general shape. Perhaps mine
has been mis-identified. Do you detect any fragrance?
I have a tagged modesta that looks a good bit like your
photo and has no fragrance. A modesta I had long ago
smelled like grape kool-aid. Hmmmmm...

 

[theshatterings]

Thanks all.

Marco, I'll keep you posted. The fruit on this species supposedly sets faster than other phal species so it shouldn't be too long.

I've not heard/read of appendiculata being fragrant. This one doesn't have a scent.

My modesta smells more like a vanilla cake, but I can see where it can be a bit grapey. The mother of all grapey scents has to be corningiana!

Wow I love it!

This is definitely more Anthocyanin C (blue) than any other app I have seen; although admittedly I haven't seen a whole lot of them. ;-)
