    Lovely orange color I always noticed in P. equestris quite common to have peloric as compared to other Phalaenopsis species any idea why?

    Nice bloom. Love this color. I had an equestris that I managed to kill in no time. Will get me another one to try again.

    I think basically because Phal equestris does produce keikes quite freely .

    It's a darling, and personally, I think that equestris pulls off the peloric look with style.

    Here's a picture of mine, equestris 'Fairy Tales':

    Great shot. EquestrisFan. I'm usually not a fan of pelorics but yours is just lovely - it certainly has 'style'.

    Thanks cattan. Not only is it a cutie, but even for an equestris, it flowers a lot.

    I believe we may have the same clone Equestrisfan , mine was bought from abroad & the name tag was not with the plant but i believe it was "Fairy Tales"
