Very nice, thanks for sharing. Here most consider speciosa and tetraspis the same. Your speciosa C1 came out extremely well. Do you grow in bright light?

Νο, the plant grows in my greenhouse, in semi-shade as all my botanical Phal....
Semi-shade for me , is that the greenhouse is shadowed by shade cloth on top...

Thanks.

I wonder what Xavier's current opinion about this issue is. He thought that C1 was a human creation.

Kew has made speciosa a synonym of tetraspis lately.

Thanks, LPM, I didn't know that this paper came out recently:

Pretty interesting that an individual with tetraspis-type flowers (with bars) produced the blotchy flower in the subsequent year. I haven't seen that this happens under cultivation. Also the photo of the wild plant is interesting because the leaves are much elongated in nature. This is a general phenomenon for many phals (the leaves become roundish under cultivation).

You are growing them beautifully!

I love them all...every single one!

Your violacea fma. alba is of excellent quality! Pure white color with round form.
