Phalaenopsis (Tag Misplaced at the Moment)


Acquired in the spring of 2013 from the West Los Angeles Farmer's Market.

Nicknamed the West LA Duckie

Unfortunately, this little guy has since suffered sunburns, crown rot, root rot, and dehydration. No new leaves have grown since this picture taken shortly after acquisition. Instead, it puts up massive amounts of panic roots and spikes that never bloom.  This plant has fallen down on my priorities for care... But rediscovering this picture of its serene beauty reminds me to revisit her.
