This sweet little patootie was given to us as a gift when my Father-in-Law passed away. It skipped a blooming season, as I believe it was set back and adjusting to my environment. I forgot how vibrant the contrast was with this gorgeous deep purple lip. I have so few standard phalaenopsis in my collection, but this one is definitely a keeper.

Beautiful contrasting colors. Sorry to hear about your Father in Law

Jen: is this a Fuller’s Golden Princess? If so, how did you get it to bloom? Mine has decided to become a foliage plant.

It came to me as a gift, untagged. It definitely has Gold Princess in its parentage. I think most of the ones I saw had sort of subtle pink lines in the yellow petals. My notes say ‘looks like Gold Princess crossed with a more crisp and clean full yellow phal.’ Like I said, not super scientific w/o a tag or even nursery name.

As far as blooming, it took a long while adjusting to my environment- there was some set back, but it surprised me with a spike without even a drop in temps- most of my other phals are doing NOTHING. So… 🤷🏻‍♀️

You hear that Princess?!? You just got a reprieve thanks to Jen!
