Thanks, I know this is a beginner question, but what does the Dtps. signify? And do you happen to have a description of the plant? --Vic I shouldn't be so helpless. I found a photo, but the first question stands. http://groups.msn.com/BHGFriendlyGar...o&PhotoID=4337 --Vic Dtps. stands for Doritaenopsis, that is a cross between Doritis and Phalaenopsis. greetings from Poland Martha |

K Barrett I guess it's back to the drawing board for me then. I thought I had come close to figuring out what my phal was. I saw one in the store that looked very, very similar. I think it even came from the same grower. The tag on the store plant just gave the parent cross and not the name. Mine is similar to the picture, but with more yellow in the centre and a less fuschia spotting on the white segments. The lip is definitely fuschia although the tips tend to fade to white as the blooms age. --Vic |

The natural spread is 9.9 with a vertical of 8.1, SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php SuE I just took a look at the Doritaenopsis pictured on your site, and I'm more and more convinced that my phal is in fact a Doritaenopsis of some sort. Is it common for a Doritaenopsis to be sold as a "straight" Phal? Am I supposed to treat it any differently than I would if it was just a Phal? I ask the question, knowing I don't plant on changing the care I give it. I just like to know which rules I'm breaking. g --Vic |

It is possible if it is a first or (sometimes) second generation hybrid. But, for reasons that don't always entirely make sense, the doritis that makes a plant a Doritaenopsis could have been its great,great,great,great...who knows how many greats, grandparent. Once you put Doritis into the ancestry, it stays. This leads to the vast majority of Dtps looking just like any other phalaenopsis. They are equivalent. Frankly, they are so equivalent that it is really a false distinction. That applies to culture, as well. There is no meaningful distinction between the culture of the two. Don't try to identify your no name phal from pictures. It is impossible to ever know for sure, in almost all cases. And it doesn't matter, anyway. Just treat it like a phal, enjoy it for its pretty flowers, and try to keep yourself from buying too many more orchids. Addiction is dangerous... *grin* Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a) See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more orchids, obtain more credit |

I just happened to be in the store, and they just happened to have some plants for sale, and one just happened to look very familiar...so my curiosity fired up again. Trust me. I am enjoying my plant, whatever it is. It's getting watered and fed today. It really does look fabulous in full bloom. I'm very, very satisfied with it. As for the ones I noticed for sale, they were way over-priced, and they wouldn't be my first choice anyway if I were to add to my collection. Now I just need to stay away from the upcoming orchid show. g --Vic |

Didn't someone recently note that the Doritis that was the parent of most registered Doritaenopsis was a Phal and writted down wrong in the registry? -- Chris Dukes Suspicion breeds confidence -- Brazil |
No problem, at least once in a while I can come out of my lurking
shadow :))) greetings from Poland Martha |
