Phal Schileriana x ????

[Tanya]

This is the first orchid I have raised from a seedling. It has a tag when I bought it but it has been lost a long time ago. This is its 3rd blooming and for the first time the mother plant produced "normal" flowers. At the same time, its keikis are also producing their flowers and like their mother during its first and second blooming, they also have "deformed" flowers. The plant is 5 years old.

First pic are the flowers of the momma plant. Second pic are the keikis.

thanks for sharing Tanya.

You must be very proud, Tanya.

I was really considering chucking this out last summer and yes, I feel proud when I first saw that it finally came to its senses and decided to become normal .

That's nice work, Tanya. Well-deserved pride!
