phal wants to be a paph

[playtime8978]

Just thought this was cute. I am guessing it is as the flower is ending its life but I saw it this morning and thought awe it wants to be a paph it looks better where I am sat as i am slightly above the flower so more detail. It is cut spikes off my sick phal which I am doubting is going to make it.

it just made me laugh when I saw it I am sure it is perfectly normal but was the first time I had seen it, so sad it doesnt look like the plant is going to make it.

What do you mean the plant isn't going to make it? Is it suffering from root rot?
I've had a number of my phals drop off all the leaves and a new basal growth will start. So, theres always hope

Whats going on with you're phal, Carrie?

yeah I overwatered it and rotted the roots I chopped them off leaving one under medium root and two aerial roots i gently teased the aerial roots down to get them into the medium and one of them looks to have rot set in so I dont know what to do the leaves are still lovely and green but ever so floppy I cut the spikes off also just cant see it surviving wwith only one viable root.
