Phal.Schilleriana
This is a seedling I got 2 years ago and it has finally bloomed for the first time. It has no scent... hopefully will bloom better as it grows up!

Very pretty, I like the shape of the flowers. Not the typical round Phal flowers.

Thank you all for all your nice comments...personally I'm not that impressed for the moment... The petals fold backwards & there's no scent..  hopefully next time it'll have nicer flowers & many more on the spike... Although admittedly it did get infested with mites whilst I was on holiday & the spike was forming |

Nenella, your flowers are very nice. I do believe the petals are supposed to be just alittle recurved and should have a faint scent. I've had mine for about 2 years but it was larger than a "seedling" when I got it. This year the flowers are not as numerous but the plant is pretty and yours will grow and look amazing before you know it!
