This little one started with 5 spikes. 3 of the 5 blasted and one bud on one of the remaining spikes also blasted. So I ended up with a total of 3 flowers. To be honest I'm thrilled to death it bloomed at all! I would have been happy with 1 flower. They're very tiny, about the size of a nickle, and smell just like honey. Thanks for looking.

YAY! 3 is certainly better than none! Too bad about the blasted spikes.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a phal which has a ton of nice healthy roots, and send out a huge spike with... two flowers...

Terri, they are adorable and your plant is beautiful even without flowers. I have two on cork and nothing yet. Sometimes mine will bloom as late as june.
