Peloric or Not. . . . Again!
The top picture is not, but the other one is, although I must say it's not a
particularly appealing one to me. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info! "tenman" wrote in message ...

The dark petals are mimicking the lip even to the yellow center splotch. |

Peloric or Not. . . . Again!
Yep, sorry about the quality of the photo - pretty poor I'm afraid. The plant was bought at Solihull Orchid Society's (UK) annual members auction in about November 05 for the equivalent of a couple of dollars. Being fairly new to growing orchids and wanting to increase my stock (and make the plant more attractive) I made the mistake of splitting it into two the following spring and fed and watered it throughout 06 but it did not flower. Still learning, during 07 I kept one plant in the bay window of a warm room which gets sunlight until about noon, the other in a conservatory which gets very hot in summer but cold in winter. Both plants started to send out spikes late last late autumn, the bay window plant going on to give two flowers but the conservatory plant failed to develop its spike. Whilst the flowers on the bay window plant were pretty, they were much smaller than I expected, so if I can get it to re-flower next year it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

No worries Peter, mine is also stunted. We shall wait til next year &
compare again. I would hang on to both pieces of your plant. Also my apologies I should have mentioned to the group that you had said that you thought the appearance was due to culture & situation etc. Cheers Wendy "Peter Cliff" wrote in message ...
