  • Posted by Australis (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Zone 10a) on Sep 17, 2020 3:13 AM concerning plant:
    This is an unstable partial petal peloric. It usually exhibits a partial repetition of the lip markings on the two petals, resulting in a white centre on the petals with some spots. However, it can revert to full normal colouration (as it did for me and another grower in the 2020 flowering season).

    It also flowers off very small plants and, if care is taken, can flower the year after repotting as well.
