Phal. stuartiana – Native to the Philippines, this species has beautiful mottled leaves with branching sprays of white flowers and red markings or spots. This species is rare these days and not easy to find. Limited availability! This strain is very nice!
Stuart's Phalaenopsis blooms in the winter and spring on a branching, to 3' (90 cm) long, arcuate to pendant inflorescence with ovate-cucullate bracts, that can carry up to 100, faintly fragrant flowers. Flowers are usually 2-3.5 inch in diameter, but their size is variable, because the larger number of flowers reduces their size. They are long-lasting, they have wide petals of the inner whorl with a delicate structure. The flowers are white to cream with a lip in a sulfur-yellow color. The lower half of the inner whorl and the trumpet-shaped petals have purple spots.
