Origin Barbara Baldan

Phalaenopsis Baldan's Kaleidoscope is an artificial orchid hybrid. One of the seedlings from this grex was awarded an Award of Merit by the American Orchid Society (abbreviated AM/AOS) and given the cultivar name 'Golden Treasure'. The vast majority of Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope plants sold today are clones of this original plant.

The grex, registered in 1990, was created in South Florida by Barbara Baldan by pollenizing Phalaenopsis Hausermann's Candy with Phalaenopsis Daryl Lockhart.[1]

Phalaenopsis Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure' has been used successfully as the seed parent of a few new hybrids, for example, Phal. Baldan's Geisha = Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope × Phal. Golden Buddha.[2]
