Phalaenopsis violacea fma. semi-alba from Orchidview

This is the first successful flowering for Phalaenopsis violacea in the grow space and it has turned out to be a very pleasing flower. The previous spikes had simply stalled, but it may just have needed a year or so to acclimate to the less than ideal conditions in the home versus that of a humid greenhouse.

There're also two other highly fragrant species currently in flower, ie Phalaenopsis bellina and Phalaenopsis corningiana, and it's a nice exercise to compare the three rather different scents.
