Phalaenopsis pantherina

This is the 2014 bloom for this Phal. pantherina. It is still trying to be established in moss but I'm happy it can still bloom. Also, I detected a fragrance from this which smells like a sharply sweet parsley! The Cornu-cervi complex is a challenge in my conditions for some reason. I suspect they like really high humidity with bright light. However, in lower humidity I find that they do better under lower light conditions. The 'blooming size' Phal. cornu-cervi I have is still refusing to spike and Phal. borneensis I recently got is still a seedling, so it will be a while before I get to compare their flowers in person. I'm still missing Phal. lamelligera in order to have a complete set of this group of phals from Borneo, so the search continues.
