Phalaenopsis amabilis
 

Hi,

Does anyone know if Phalaenopsis amabilis and P. 'Tiasuco Snow' are one and
the same? The flowers of both orchids appear to be identical.

As you probably know one is a species and the other a hybrid, if the latter
was a variety of P.amabilis it would be written so. (e.g. P.amabilis
"Taisuco Snow") There are a great many "Taisuco" Phals about, obviously the
breeders name.
I think for a definitive answer you need to contact experts like McBeans
Orchids ...

Bob.

ps. note spelling of Taisuco.

Had another look on the web and found this...

http://www.phalaenopsis.idv.tw/hybrids/K/Kung's%20Kaala%20X%20Taisuco%20Snow.htm

which shows the breeding line. (don't need to download a language file to
see it)

But isn't that their descendents, not ancestors?

It is the ancestors as it is describing the line for the flower shown, which
is P. Kung's Kaala X Taisuco Snow.
