Important Information

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

Peloric Characteristics: Peloric Phalaenopsis orchids feature unusual modifications to their floral structures, creating distinctive and sometimes asymmetrical flower formations. The shape, size and arrangement of modified floral parts may vary between individual blooms.

Unusual Bloom Formation: Due to the nature of peloric orchids, individual flowers may develop different shapes, proportions and degrees of symmetry. Future flowering may also display natural variations, and blooms are not guaranteed to develop identically to those pictured.

Natural Colour Variations: The intensity of the strawberry-pink, raspberry and deep berry-purple colouring may vary depending on flower maturity, growing conditions and lighting. Photographs are intended to represent the natural colouring as closely as possible.

Fragile Blooms: Peloric 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.

Recommended Add-ons
