Thanks, Nenella, but the person who should be given credit for "Monday Mornings", is Jim Blanford. His Monday Morning blooms are just the "Cat's Meow"!!!!!

I love the pitures you posted. How do you get your phals to flower so early. I have a bunch of phals in my greenhouse that are all budded but probably wont see any flowers for another week or two.

Don't know your local growing conditions, but I grow in a greenhouse in Michigan. I begin my spike season in late September by keeping the temps down low at night 58 ~ 62F and daytime usually between 65 ~ 70F. And with all of this, I still have plenty in spike/bud but not open and won't open for several weeks... and I even have a few that didn't spike at all and they are all in the same greenhouse!!! So be patient and you will reap the rewards of your efforts. |

Doc, What kind of light are you providing your phals? We have the same gh I think, and I am in Washington state so close to the same lighting. My phals just don't seem to thrive. I get great growth and give them about the same temps in the fall but alas, few spikes. Too much light? I can't believe that they don't get enough as I keep them on the bottom shelf below the catts. Any advice? I grow great catts but just no luck with phals.

I grow on Lonjg Island, ny. I cant get those night temps until early to mid oct and I don't see spike formation until late to mid Nov so that explains the later flowering for me. Thanks
