This amazing species from the Philippines has very interesting mottled leaves and delicate pink flowers that will develop fragrance after being open for 10-14 days. The fragrance is in the morning hours and for some reason not all of the schilleriana have fragrance but most do. The purpurea variety is a tetraploid form (4N) that has sturdier plants and larger longer-lasting flowers. These do take time to grow and the plants we offer are now 8-10 years old! We have line-bred these from the 1980s onwards and have received several American Orchid Society awards. These plants like medium light and can be grown like any other Phalaenopsis hybrid. We have just a few in-spike at the present time and have several crosses available. All the plants we offer of this species are flowering-size.

*Note. There are several different crosses available. All will produce the same style flower. They are made for genetic diversity in breeding.
