Pod Parent Flower
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
 
Comments: Parent plant: I've had a few different plants of this species and this is the first plant that produced completely flat flowers. The picture is of this plant and the flower was not at all reflexed. All other Phalaenopsis schilleriana plants I had produced reflexed flowers. I am not sure if it was because the flowers were flat, but they seemed larger than usual. This is definitely not a hybrid - it is a true schilleriana. Medium-sized plant.
