Important Information

Limited Edition: Forbidden Angel is part of our WhatTheBlossom Limited Edition Collection, with availability dependent on grower supply. Forbidden Angel is our own collection name and not a registered botanical hybrid name.

Big Lip Characteristics: Big Lip Phalaenopsis orchids feature a naturally enlarged, modified lip that creates their distinctive appearance. The shape, size and symmetry of this feature may vary between individual flowers.

Unusual Bloom Formation: Due to the distinctive Big Lip characteristics, individual flowers may develop slightly different shapes and proportions. Future flowering may also show natural variations in bloom formation.

Natural Colour Variations: The intensity of the blush-pink colouring, rose-pink veining and champagne-yellow undertones may vary. Some flowers may display stronger pink tones, while others may appear lighter or more yellow depending on maturity and growing conditions.

Fragile Blooms: Big Lip orchids can have particularly delicate flower structures. Their unusual formations may be more susceptible to cosmetic damage during handling and transportation. Minor imperfections, changes in flower positioning or occasional bloom loss may occur.

Natural Plant Variations: As this is a live plant, flower count, buds, spike arrangement, root development and overall appearance may vary. Photos are for guidance only and do not represent the exact plant you will receive.

Winter Bloom Advisory: During colder weather, orchids may experience bud or bloom loss due to temperature changes during transit. Existing blooms may last anywhere from 1–12 weeks depending on their maturity, environmental conditions and transport stress. Future flowering depends on the plant's natural growth cycle and care.
