Howdy, Nancy. I bought from Creole Orchids a peloric Phal. equestris v. leucapsis 'Anne' many years ago. It was PRICY--$60. or so even back then. Bloomed peloric the first few times. However, it started blooming with all "normal" flowers, and did so until it died of crown rot. A friend of mine who knew how disappointed I was with the "normal" flowers, took pity on me, and she gave me a keiki from her peloric 'Anne', which she had had for years. It bloomed peloric for me for a couple of years, and then, once again, reverted to "normal". Her mother plant, however, continued peloric, and I beleive it is still peloric to this day. So, all I can conclude is that there is something in my particualr environment, or in my cultural methods, that makes it revert to normal flowers. Hope this info helps!
