Possibly Phalaenopsis Leda (Phalaenopsis amabilis x stuartiana) see discussion below.

amabilis ????

Seems to be a problem with the lip on this one Albert, doesn't have the mid-lobe spurs and the lip is too broad for Phal. amabilis.

Yep...I don't believe this

Yep...I don't believe this one is P. amabilis either Bill.

amabilis??

Submitted by bernabu on Fri, 29/08/2008 - 16:02.

I tend to agree with Bill's observations; the following description is from the 'Manual of Cultivated Orchids' Lip fleshy, clawed, 3-lobed in basal half, up to 2.3cm broad; side lobes obliquely spathulate, erect; mid-lobe cruciforme, side arms short, triangular, acute, with two whip-like tendrels at apex; callus subquadrate, fleshy, 2-lobed. The obvious difference is in the shape of the mid-lobe, which in the image shown is not acutely triangular.
Hope this helps.

COULD BE A HYBRID!!

This could be a hybrid between stuartiana x amabilis

Nailed again Migocab!!!!

Well done Ian, you've nailed this one.

Primary hybrid Phal. Leda (stuartiana x amabilis) registered by Veitch in 1888. http://www.phals.net/amabilis/Leda

detective work

Submitted by wellsy on Sat, 30/08/2008 - 08:45.

Good detective work by all here.

I think it may be more complex than just the primary P. Leda though. See how nicely filled in and rounded Alberts one is compared to the photo in the link that Bill has found.

I think I prefer Albert's

Submitted by Anton on Sat, 30/08/2008 - 09:47.

Albert's is certainly a better looking flower, well done Albert.

Phal

Hi Bill,
I have bought the plant years ago. I am sure there is a lable, but my wife can't find it and i am not at home to look for it. I think I bought it from Ian Walters, I think.
cheers

How about we leave this one for now and wait till your back in Australia????

If the flower is too rounded then it is Phal. Leda x amabilis. Because this hybrid certainly contain stuartiana.

Phal. Leda x amabilis

Submitted by wellsy on Sun, 31/08/2008 - 00:46.

I agree that could be a possibility ie: Phal. Leda x amabilis.

However at this time it could also be something more complex so how about we leave it labelled as I have done for now...see how I have referenced this discussion. What do you think?

Regards wellsy
