Phalaenopsis celebensis 'Topaz'Just look at that cutie! P. celebensis is a hard-to-come-by species related closely with lindenii and equestris. It has lovely patterned leaves like lindenii or schilleriana. It is generally considered a miniature, but in actuality the leaves can be in the range of 8 inches long. The plant produces a skinny inflorescence that elongates out and arches straight down, then produces blooms over a period of time, still developing new buds as the first flowers are open.
This particular plant came from Dowery Orchids in VA.
Maple here answering your dyeing question on my blog.... Yes, I left the yarn on spindle through rinsing but skeined it while it was damp. Tied it and washed again with soap....
