Very strange name for a phal dendrobium; this is the floral emblem of Queensland. It has a weird coloration due to iPhone photography at sundown so the colors are a bit off...the dark purple is more reddish in hue...but I am very excited because it has seven spikes and the oldest one have not even completed its blooms...the youngest is just barely showing its buds...its like a little stick....I will photograph it at noontime when all of the flowers have completed its blooms...it will be magnificent!

Thank You Kelo !
I usually take pictures at noon when the sun is above me...its also a better light and accurately captures the correct coloring...I will do that when all the flowers are opened.
