Nice color!
Nice!
About the most evenly peloric I've ever seen.
Does it has pollinia at all?
That is an interesting question Azizan. Let me investigate that.
Interesting, but I don't seem able to avoid shuddering when see any peloric flowers.
I liked this one Geoff because it's a species and the condition is not "in your face" with bright colors like a lot of the peloric hybrids you see being offered for sale.
Azizan- I can't see any pollinia on my plant but I don't have sufficient magnification either. I posed the question to the vendor I secured it from and she advised me she has one but has never looked because she is not doing any breeding. She buys all her stock from Taiwan.
Normally a fully peloric Phalaenopsis will have underdeveloped column and doesn't produce pollinia, thus it is completely sterile due to lack of those reproductive organs.
so, they must be commercially propogated via mericloning?
