Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi 'Red'


An extremely good quality Phal cornu-cervi 'Red'. This variety is now as common as the normal cornu-cervi but a good quality flower is still hard to come by. There is a very critical difference between this variety and the chattaladae variety. Can you spot the difference? Chattaladae is still rare in Singapore but very common in US and Taiwan. Recently a grower in Taiwan flowered a mutated plant which is almost entirely solid red, including the lip. You can see the pics here but please hold on to your jaw :- http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/max999-orchids/article?mid=4286&prev=-1&next=4249
