besides slippers, these are probably my favorites and I'm addicted to their wonderful fragrance.

Blooming now in the greenhouse....

Tadd! What is wrong w/ you! You Phal species lover - get one...get one...get one....
They *are* really pretty sweet. I'm loving mine. Such a nice fragrance! I often smell it from far away and it is so unusual it takes me a few moments to figure out what I'm smelling.
It is quite unique.


Get one! :poke:

See that will take up a space for a paph.... Not sure if it worth the loss. My boss did just got to Orchidview and get some really nice ones......

TADD, you gotta use the vertical wall space, man... Mount it!!

O'Goody gum drops another one to add to the list :roll:
That flower is stunning and its also fragrant? It doesnt get much better then that.
You take wonderful photos'!! :D





Gloria :Party:

Wow! that is nice

You don't by chance know the clonal parentage of those do you? I recently got a couple I am hoping look that well shaped, very nice!
The Froot Loop cereal smell of this species won me over long ago, so even if I got crummy ones they're still keepers.

Jon

Ooh its a species!

thanks for the nice comments!

the first one is supposed to be bellina var murtoniana and last year it was actually a lot more "yellow", but this year it seems like a pretty "normal" bellina to me , except that the flower is bigger than the others. The second and third come from the same place but no indication about their parentage.... In Europe, we do not have so much choice of selected bellina clones, so I end up buying what I find and when they flower, I keep the ones I like and "kick out " the others !

I wish we had a supplier such as Orchidview for instance, but then my credit card would start melting from being used too much ! .... :lol:

Yeah Tadd.

I've got mine mounted and it's doing great. This species tends to run the spikes under the leaves when potted, but mine always presents them on top of the leaves.

Also this speces grows down the mount rather than up like fasciata, so if you mount it face it down.
