Dtps. Jiaho Kitty Face "Rainbow"

Doritaenopsis Jiaho Kitty Face "Rainbow" has to be by far our most popular orchid plant in the phalaenopsis category.  The orchid flowers offer alluring color combinations of green, pink and fuchsia.  The stem on which the orchid flowers are perched bend and offer an interesting shape to the overall orchid.  The green foliage is distinct and an orchid lover who cares for these special plants can pick out a Dtps. Jiaho Kitty Face "Rainbow" when it is still in bud.  What do you think, do you like it?

Cymbidium Dorothy Stockstill "Forgotten Fruits" Orchid Flowers


In California, cymbidium orchid plants are usually grown outside under shade cloth.  The last few days have been cold in Southern California so many of the blooming cymbidiums are brought indoors in the orchid greenhouse where temperature controlled ecosystems keep these tropical plants toasty.  One such orchid plant is Cymbidium Dorothy Stockstill "Forgotten Fruits" - the delightfully fragrant cymbidium with mini cymbidium flowers.  This beauty is well protected in a warm orchid greenhouse..

Orchid Plant - Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl


Orchid Plant - Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl
Here is an orchid that is special beyond compare - Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl. So many things make this orchid plant and flowers special I don't know where to start.  Ok.. first the flowers.  Pure white blossoms are speckeled with dark fuchsia spots - not one spot is the same size as the other - not one flower is alike! The flowers are medium sized but if this orchid is grown in a larger pot, the flowers tend to be a bit bigger.  
Orchid plants that produce flowers with spots are known as Harlequin orchids.. hmm, I wonder why.  Did the grower know these orchid plants were going to be so special?
Another thing that makes Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl special is that it is a challenge to grow.. I don't know what you consider rare, but I consider that from 100 seedlings less than half make it to mature size.. like the one shown in the photo.. Finally, Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl is very vigorous and easy to grow in the home.  I have taken  Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl home so I know from experience it does well in the home by a well lit window.  If you get a mature plant, hang on to it.
I hope you like  Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl just as much as I do.   

Enjoy,
