Doritaenopsis Orchids

As I mentioned in my last blog post the Doritaenopsis is any Phaleanopsis  orchid crossed with a Doritis (Dor xPhal).  If there is any history at all of the Doritis  in the Phalaenopsis then it is referred to as a Doritaenopsis. However these flowers are botanically now reclassified as Phalaenopsis orchids though they are referred to as Doritaenopsis  horticulturally.

It can be difficult to tell the differences between orchids with Doritis breeding and those without so I relied heavily on the name placards at Phipps Conservatory.
Here are a pictures from the Orchid and Bonsai Exhibit 2012; you'll find that they look very similar to the classic Phalaenopsis orchids.

As always ENJOY!
