Two basic orchid types: Oncidium (pronounced lip) and Phalaenopsis (no lip, larger blooms). Phals are globally recognized—even if the name isn't, the flower is.
Hawaiian leis often use Phals. Corsages (pin or wrist) typically feature Cymbidium-type Phalaenopsis—hence "Corsage Orchid" nickname.
Phal blooms >6 inches, rainbow colors (white to deep purple), stunning combinations. Grown commercially for corsage market. Local "green" growing preferred for eco-safety.
Most orchids bloom autumn → 9-month cultivation for 3–4 month flowering window. Phals' value peaks during bloom.
Whether personal or commercial, Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid) reigns supreme—stunning, easy care, universally impressive.
