Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi 'red' x Tsay's Evergreen

[orchideya]

Has several spikes and blooms quite often. I like the flowers.

Latest spike came out of middle, I think it is terminal spike Is it?:

That's very pretty!
Is the last spike actually from the centre or is it from one leaf down that didn't make it out the side of the stem?

 

[SlipperFan]

Beautiful!

You have the "touch" with c-c! This one is very pretty and
very shiny.

That is so not 'red', and so lovely!

 

[orchideya]

I think it comes from the center, there is no new leaf signs.
Hopefully it will make basal keiki to continue its line.
I like cornu-cervi flower shape and would buy any hybrid with it.

Interesting that 'red' is so totally suppressed here. Rather than rely on a basal keiki, why not use some keiki paste on one of those spikes?

 

[orchideya]

That's a good idea. I never used keiki paste before and now I have a good excuse for using it. Where does one get it?

A little looking online should find several sources, orchid supply sites, eBay, Amazon, etc. You may find liquid as well as paste formulations. Most of them will work just fine. Quality does vary though, so don't just don't go for the cheapest because it is cheap. I'm sure you can find several discussions on the forum.
