Asconopsis Jiaho's Orange
A very interesting cross this one which grabs attention whenever it is seen. The plant form is very much like a compact Phalaenopsis with shortened spikes and very crowded small flowers.
Photo above shows a detail of plant form-note the well grown tray of plants-wish one was mine!

little gem!!!
We don't see much of this breeding Steve, does the growth lean towards Ascocenda or Phalaenopsis?????

You mean Ascocentrum or
You mean Ascocentrum or Phalaenopsis don't you Bill? (Asconopsis-Hybrid formula: Ascocentrum × Phalaenopsis)

The plant belongs to Barnie Nolan Bill.

It is registered
Yes I meant Ascocentrum, oh silly me!!!!!!!
It is registered, I corrected the name (spelling) for you earlier.
Registered by Nobby Orchids in 2004. RHS might be doing some updates is why it's not coming up at the moment in the grex name search. If you want to double check, go into Parentage Search - Irene Dobkin - and that will bring up the info.

no more available
I was extremely lucky to get mine from the grower who I took the original photo of his plants. Unfortunately, he will not be parting with any others at this stage as he only has a couple left.

Thanks for letting me know. I don't blame him. I hadn't seem them before your photo and that was it I was on the search for one. I will keep looking. Love the site and the work you do is fantastic.
