Miniature Phal???

[ischel1]

I have a Phal. that is labeled P. Meller Gold x P. Yukimai. I've had it for 2 yrs. it's never bloomed and the label says it's yellow. Could this be a miniature Phal?? I couldn't find any info on it, help anyone?

This is my problem. I purchased this plant about 2 yrs ago. The root system is fat and vigerous. The leaves are tiny and I'm wondering if it's a miniature. It has never bloomed. It's labeled P. Meller Gold x P. Yukimai Yellow. I tried to find some info on it, but no luck. Help anyone

Hmm, looks like a mini...esp. if you have had it that long. I've never heard of this cross myself...course i'm still a baby at this....one of the real experts around here may know more though. I have a few small phals, in bloom, and they are barely larger than that one.

I don't know if it's a mini but it looks like Val has one too.

I ran the Meller's Gold through the RHS website and the first ancestor I came across is P. amboinensis...definitely not a miniature!

This site is very helpful in doing an orchid pedigree:

The avatar looks like Haw Yuan Beauty 'Hong' AM/AOS to me.
