Phalaenopsis lowii

[Hamlet]

First blooming seedling, tiny plant. Surprisingly hard to photograph. I love its "nose"!

Thanks for looking!

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Interesting indeed. Does it grow will potted?

 

[Happypaphy7]

Is that normal for this plant?

I think it should be renamed as phalaenopsis elephantae. lol

Very nice, Hamlet!

 

[SlipperFan]

Very cool!

Beautiful species!

It is lovely and so unusual. I like the "nose" too...sort of a
happy face to that flower. I also like Happy's re-naming!

 

[Hamlet]

Thanks everyone.

Interesting indeed. Does it grow will potted?

It grows rather well, yes. It has new roots growing into the medium, unlike some others of my Phals, whose roots try to escape the pot. But my plants will just have to deal with being potted. I found that taking care of mounted plants on a windowsill is too much of a hassle, so everything gets potted.

Is that normal for this plant?

I think it should be renamed as phalaenopsis elephantae. lol

Ha, yes that would be a fitting name!
