The Phal Dragon's Dazzler (on the left) has been open for a few weeks now. A second bud (in the background) just started to open today. Both are on an old spike. A new spike is just starting to set buds.
The Phal Cat's Paw Firebird 'Montclair' (on the right) started to open Christmas eve. The flower and buds are on a new spike. Tough to capture the color it is so glossy.
I have a Cat's Paw Firebird. It is a really beautiful glossy red phal, and blooms over a long period of time. Really lovely. Norman's orchids at Orchids.com offers it.
