Ask a Question
What kind of flowers?
What kind of flowers are these? I *think* they're in the orchid family, but I'm not sure. I just love the stripey-spotty looking ones! Can anyone tell me exactly what kind of flowers these are and what color and type they are? Thanks SO much in advance, I'm dying to know!

I think I found what they are!!!

Family : Orchidaceae or Orchid Family

Cymbidium, or boat orchids, is a genus of 52 evergreen species in the orchid family Orchidaceae. It was first described by Olof Swartz in 1799. The name is derived from the Greek word kumbos, meaning 'hole, cavity'. It refers to the form of the base of the lip. The genus is abbreviated Cym in horticultural trade.

This genus is distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia (such as North-India, China, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Borneo) and North-Australia, usually growing in cooler climates at high elevation.

I can help you somewhat.

It is a Phalaenopsis Orchid
I do believe it is one of the many Moth Orchids.

Hope this helps
