	Phalaenopsis Fimbriata ''Phalaenopsis fimbriata'' is a species of orchid native to Borneo, Java and Sumatra. Description This species is a monopodial, epiphytic orchid with very short stems, which are covered by leaf sheaths. The thin, lanceolate to slightly oval leaves with an uneven surface are 14-23 cm long and 4-7 cm wide. The white to greenish yellow flowers are 2.5-3.5 cm wide. The labellum is 1.4-1.6 cm long and 0.6-0.8 cm wide. At its apex it is covered in trichomes, which is reflected in the specific epithet ''fimbriata'' meaning tufted. Flowering occurs from May to November. Per inflorescence 3-6 flowers open simultaneously and the anthesis Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It may also refer to the onset of that period. The onset of anthesis is spectacular in some species. In ''Banksia'' species, for example, anthesis involves the extension ... lasts 2-3 weeks.

	Anthesis Anthesis is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It may also refer to the onset of that period. The onset of anthesis is spectacular in some species. In ''Banksia'' species, for example, anthesis involves the extension of the style far beyond the upper perianth parts. Anthesis of flowers is sequential within an inflorescence An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphologically, it is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed o ..., so when the style and perianth are different colours, the result is a striking colour change that gradually sweeps along the inflorescence. Flowers with diurnal anthesis generally are brightly colored in order to attract diurnal insects, such as butterflies. Flowers with nocturnal anthesis generally are white or less colorful, and as such, they contrast more strongly with the night ...
