Very nice leaves you have there people!
Leo Schordje: Interesting, I have what is supposed to be a normal variant of malipoense, but the foliage looks more like you variant (malipoense x jacki alba). That's strange I suppose...
There is a batch of (malipoense x jackii alba) seedlings floating around Europe. Mine came from one of the few flasks that went to the USA. So it is very possible you have a sister seedling to mine. If people were not careful with their labels, it is possible that the label got shortened to just malipoense.

I just got this plant a few weeks ago. It is a division of a very old plant that has been going around for over 20 years. Was very expensive before but now very affordable. The flower is not variegated.

Thanks, Is it this plant? Would love to get a division of such plant one day!

Aha, I suppose I'll know if/when my little one blooms then. Until then, I shall enjoy its gorgeous foliage.

Beautiful jewel orchids NYEric! Some of them look like their leaves are glowing.

Yes, the ability for plants to have metallic veins is amazing. I am not that good at growing them and have lost a bunch.

Haha! By far, not the most creative pot I use. I use instant coffee jars, chinese food containers, etc. :rollhappy: The Macodes petiola lives in a really nice glass vessel, I'll have to post a photo later.

WHen it blooms it will be possible to determine which species or if it is the hybrid.
the shape of the flower will give you a clue. The petal shape of jackii is a bit more elongated than in malipoense, and usually displayed at a slight downward angle compared to malipoense, resulting in a more triangular profile versus a rounder profile.
The staminode of malipoense has a very pronounced 'bee' marking. The purple is intense, smooth, with no lines. The upper edge of the bee mark is a simple horizontal line. In jackii there is no bee mark, rather there is a spidery network of purple lines originating from a single point. Of note, the hybrid between the species will show some lines, they will be be much wider than in jackii and coalesce into a blotch in where the bee mark would be in malipoense. So if there are lines emenating from the bee mark, your plant is the hybrid.
Hope that makes sense and helps

I use clear cups from cold coffee drinks. Now I have a neat mini phal in a "Scooter's Coffee" cup.

Thanks.
Nice group. I'm leery of plastic cups that are too thin. I use the soup containers from Chinese restaurants, that's what S/H container manufacturers use. :wink:

I'm not familiar with the containers you described but I do love the rigid plastic cups that they put betta fish in. They aren't very big, but they are great for smaller plants.
