Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: Both of these are the original awarded plants, not mericlones. These plants came from the same compot. Flower photo of pollen parent shows a flower that was beginning to fade that was pinched by the owner of that plant for me to use for pollen. I will try to get a better photo, but I really want the color pattern to be seen. Both of these plants were positively identified by Dr. Eric A. Christenson as Phalaenopsis (Doritis) pulcherrima.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from northeast India through Burma, Thailand,
Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, then southward through Malaya, Sumatra, and
Borneo. In Thailand, plants have been reported from all regions, except in
the vicinity of Bangkok. Plants are usually found at relatively low
elevations, but collections have been reported from as high as 4250 ft.
(1300 m). Plants generally grow as terrestrials in the shade of bushes and
shrubs. They are normally found in sandy, well-drained soil that contains
an accumulation of organic debris.
