    Hi, was it in the wild or in a garden?

      The location in the description points to the Biodome (a greenhouse/tourist attraction in England), so I wouldn't think they were wild. Posted 6 years ago

        I see. If that's the case and the orchids are from a greenhouse, it should be difficult to ID them, because we don't know their origin. At least for me it should be difficult.
        Ganesh, I see the photos are taken last year, but if you are around that place, maybe you could visit it again and check the labels on the plants!         Posted 6 years ago

          Hi Jivko NakevJivko Nakev,
          Ah... there were no labels on the plats :D .. Looks like its not gonna be easy to identify them unless we contact the person who is looking after the Orchid House at Bio-dome project.

          Most of the orchid photos Ganesh posted look like Phalaenopsis to me and there is a sign in the booth that reads "Phalaenopsis". One problem with identifying Phalaenopsis orchids that are cultivated is that they may be hybrid species created for horticultural purposes. I think the best that can be done here is to call at least some of them Phalaenopsis Posted 6 years ago

            I emailed them to ask and here is their reply:

            “this is a Phalaenopsis cultivar. Currently most of the orchids in our orchid pergola are Phalaenopsis.”             Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
