Doritaenopsis Sin-yaun 'Golden Beauty'
Doritaenopsis (doh-ry-ten-OP-sis)
Since it has been a while having some Orchids posted on DFP.com I thought this beauty that was blooming at work would be nice. The Orchids have really enjoyed being outside and under the sprinklers and ‘Golden Beauty’ decided to celebrate and give a couple of flower spikes. It is named correctly as it has a nice almost golden glow to it.
Doritaenopsis Orchids are easy to grow and not fussy. The genus is a hybrid between Doritis Orchids and the common Phalaenopsis type of Orchids. The crosses usually end up being a little more compact than a typical Phalaenopsis but they often bloom for longer periods of time and are generally more colorful. They like bright but indirect light and not too much water.
Doritaenopsis is abbreviated as Dtps., which is much easier. This particular Orchid was introduced in 2002.
My sister and nephew are visiting from Hawaii and a little bit of me was wishing I were visiting them. It is a lot of fun having a 2-year-old running around the house. It is amazing what he can get into.
