Species Phal from the Philippines (No ID)

Oh well. But she left you a very rich legacy: your love for orchids.

hi angel, any other phal specie you have in your garden? i notice your location...Cotabato in Mindanao and I would have to say that most of the rare phal specie are from there if not just in neighboring province. It would be nice if you can acquire a phal sanderiana which is very rare here in Manila/Luzon. A specie in my wishlist.

Hello Zildjian. This Phal intermedia is my only species phal. In fact, it is my only phal. the other species orchids I have are the Cymbidium finlaysonianum (I posted some photos the other day), Pteroceras unguiculatum (I have an old post on this but will soon post some new photos), a brassavola, a miniature terrestrial cymbidium, some arachnis, one Vanda lamellata, Dendrobium crumenatum, Dendrobium anosmum and a spathoglottis but I'm not sure if it's a species.

thanks for the LIKE, Eric.

Phalaenopsis intermedia for me...

[angel]

It surely is Diogo. If not for this forum, I still wouldn't know the correct identity of this orchid which has been with my family for ages.

Due to its blooming habit where the spike just keeps getting longer and longer as more buds begin to form, the intermedia gives the impression that it is in bloom every day all year round.

That's true, mine is blooming since 4 years on old and new spikes. I cut the old spikes in 2011, they were almost 5 feet long and I had to roll them up !

That's lovely, Eric. Your phal intermedia has a pink tinge to it.

I agree: x intermedia.

I saw this species in Mindoro/Puetro Galera, hanging in a garden.

Hello Peter. It's nice to hear that you've been to Mindoro. The phal intermedia is all over the country, I think.
