Two Phalaenopsis Orchids



Phalaenopsis 'Brother Pepride' x 'Brother Nobel Star'
(fay-lay-NOP-sis)

These two Phalaenopsis are from Hawaii. The name tags were confusing since they seemed to have the complete parentage on the tag and had several names. The first one is a nice yellow, which isn’t the most popular Phalaenopsis color. The fact that it is spotted is a bonus as I really like spotted flowers.

The second Orchid is a little more typical of the species and also has a nice spotted appearance. I would have loved to visit Hawaii this winter but it wasn’t in the cards.


Our gardening season got shut down yesterday as we had a windy, rainy, cold, sleetly and snowy day. It is still snowing a little bit and there was enough overnight to cover the ground. I am sure it is just a minor set back but it is a little depressing.

Haven't been here in quite awhile! Missing my orchids but am living out some of that love by watching one of my mom's Phal's put on a spike.

It's freezing cold here DF - spring is on hold for the time being. Love looking at these orchids, makes me believe flowers still bloom.
