This plant comes from India or Vietnam.
The flowers are about 1 to 2 inches.. The waxy star-shaped blossoms have
yellow to bronze sepals and petals and the petals are often marked with
reddish blotches. The lip is white and purple.

got

just
| | glad I saw the article on hanging phals....I'm out of windowsill
space.
| |
| | they had the phal mannii in stock but I didn't care for the flower
| shape.
| | Does anyone here own one of these?
