Like mother, like daughter
The plant on the right was started from a keiki that was on the plant on the left. They both flowered earlier in the year & I assumed when I saw these stems they were going to re-flower, instead both are growing what appears to be new keikis. The younger plants growth is ahead of the parent.
I keep them outside & only use Shultz water soluable fertilizer every few weeks in a diluted form.

Hi Sandy4453,
I don't know the particulars about the phal. The plant was given to me a several years ago & the origional clone was removed 1 1/2 years ago(?). They have pink colored flowers & are about the easiest that I have to cultivate. I have another phal with big white flowers that has a spike about 2 inches long so I am anticipating the end result.

That skull and the cypress roots came from a cattle ranch by Cheifland. There is a bunch of old turpentine clay pots there about 7 inch deep. They tend to have dried sap in them, I just left it because I couldn't think of a good way to remove it. I guess you could boil it out. Anyway I use them as orchid pots. I am guessing they are from 1930 or so?
