Orchid of the day: Phalaenopsis lindenii



Phalaenopsis lindenii


We have been quiet for a while as a few of our orchids are not in bloom yet. Then I realized, I had saved some photos during the summer because we had many to post at the same time. Well, I hope you will enjoy our Phalaenopsis lindenii. We posted about this orchid last year, September 20, 2015 (click here).

A) In August 7th, two of the flowers were blooming. There were about seven buds at this time.

B) The entire plant, mounted on cork. We managed to also have a fern growing on top!


The flower size is between 2.5 cm to 3.75 cm. This cool loving orchid is native of the highlands of the Philippines (1000 m to 1500 m elevations). This year we manged to have about 12 flowers although not all of them flowered at the same time.

We hope this beauty helps to cheer you all during these dark wintry days. Until next post, have a great week!
