    I was given a nice sized Phalaenopsis equestris keiki last year (maybe two) in a trade. It bloomed this winter for me and it turned out to be peloric. I tried emailing the person I got it from but the email address bounced back and I cannot get in touch with them now.

    Does anyone know if this plant will always be peloric or if this is a trait that will come and go. I know some think this trait makes the plant more desirable but I am not exactly sure how I feel about it though.

    TIA

    Once peloric, always peloric. Now if there was just one flower that was wierd, that might go away.
