More Product Details

Send them our long lasting red butterfly orchid called Doritaenopsis (Dtps. for short) Taida Salu "Alisan" and they will be overjoyed! Doritaenopsis orchid hybrids are typically created by crossing the Doritis orchid species and the Phalaenopsis orchid species. The result is this beautiful red butterfly orchid that is no longer a hybrid but a named orchid! It is presented in our Asian style basket adorned with living sheet moss to give the butterfly orchid a very elegant look that they will love. Butterfly orchid is sent in bud and bloom with seven to eight blooms. Butterfly orchid in basket stands approximately 24 inches tall. Rare. We offer a 100% Freshness Guarantee so you can buy with confidence.

More Information About Butterfly Orchids
The words butterfly orchid is misleading because it is not common to refer to a butterfly orchid in the genera phalaenopsis. Butterfly orchids are found in the genera oncidium, epidendrium, habenera, psychopsis just to name a few. So why do we call our phalaenopsis orchid butterfly orchids? Because phalaenopsis are more commonly known as moth orchids and the word "moth" denotes a flying insect that appears in your cupboards if you leave a box of cereal open for too long. So we refer to our phalaenopsis as butterfly orchids because it sounds better and it's a much prettier name. Wikipedia doesn't even include phalaenopsis in there list of orchid genera known also as butterfly orchids so maybe if we continue to call phalaenopsis butterfly orchids, the name will catch on and replace moth orchid to describe phalaenopsis.

Butterfly orchid	August 12, 2008
Reviewer: Kurt Hahn from Los Angeles, California

The orchid was actually yellow with wine color over it... but it is beautiful - not a true red but still very beautiful butterfly orchid.
