    Default Dtps. Chian Xen Pearl

    I bought this plant last year because I wanted to add a phalaenopsis with spots to my collection.
    But when it bloomed, I was disappointed.
    It was washed out and without spots.
    I thought I still wait a year and then decide whether to keep it.
    It seems I'll find out soon.

    I guess it depends how you look at the picture but I see a ghost sitting in a cave that is very bright?

    I think it looks like a bird embryo still in the egg. I always see birds in orchid blossoms.

    Yes, looks like a girl with a childhood Shirley Temple hair style.

    It is not fully open, but I do not think it will improve a lot.
    The shape is poor, the sepals are not flatten.
    With only two buds for now, I hope that it will improve in the future.
    I like the color and spots so we'll see next year
    ciao Nicola
