I do not know the actual cultivar of this lovely phalaenopsis, a present from son and daughter on mother’s day I will call it by their names: Gabe & Brett


A blooming size plant with 2 stems of blooms came in a beautiful arrangement complimented with a yellow bromelia, that one too I will call it G & B.

Hybrid guess: Dtps. Rong Guan Mary “B #603”  (MH#757)

As observed in Coastal NC. BLOOMS: 3.5 inches diameter, 3 to 5 flowers per stem purple/fuschia solid color blooms. Not fragrant. Spring/ May FRUIT AND SEED: N/A, propagate by division. KEY FEATURES: thick up right elongated 6-8 inches long dark green leaves with a center rib. There are many cultivars to guess this one: Phalaenopsis “purple”, see photo of flower close- up.
