Phal Green Pixie ‘Ever Green’
Here is another plant that could also show up in front of judges. The tag reads P. Green Pixie “Ever Green”. And they are clearly clones of a well selected cultivar. This one actually has a ‘cultivar name’ even if it is enclosed in “regular” quote marks. Sadly there is no such registered Grex called Phal Green Pixie. There is one registered as Phal I-Lan Green Pixie (Phalaenopsis Su-An Cricket x Phalaenopsis Timothy Christopher) and the plant in this picture looks a lot like I would expect a very nice clonable sibling of this cross to look like. But that is just a guess on my part. There is also an I-Lan Green Apple and an I-Lan Green Jewel to consider but if it is one of these three, then it is probably the one with Timothy Christopher as the daddy.
When I hold this flower up next to Phal Sunrise Star, my eye does not detect a difference in shade between it and the older flowers on Sunrise star. In my humble opinion, it is green only because the name makes my brain expect to see it. Still, it is a nice nearly concolor yellow multifloral.
The plants and spikes are nearly identical on all of them. They have multiple branching spikes with 6 cm flowers.
As always, if you found this plant in my red tag journal, it is only available for sale by mail order if it is in the mail order catalog. It is tag number DPE2579.
didnt lynette orchids have a hybrid with that name a long time ago?
I have no idea.
These came from Taiwan/China by way of a Califonia wholesale importer.
