I don't think a Phal waiting six months to do ANYTHING is really unusual. Phals do what they want when they want to do it. It's just how they ride.

How are your plants doing now then?
Got any up to date photos?

Thanks for bringing this up again Ashleigh, I had not seen this and I would love to know what became of this phal.

A bit to early to take photo's, will do so later.
Not really much change but I think I got one blossom. Will have to try to find the photo.

So glad you asked about this phal as it had gotten 'buried' and I hadn't really looked for it in quite awhile.
Of the two spikes, one sent out a branch and had one blossom. It was of such poor quality I didn't take a photo of it. It's petals and sepals were terribly recurved.
The second spike produced a keiki which is now ready for potting up.
The strange new leaf never did do anything, just stopped where it was but a new leaf is just emerging.

[EDIT]
Yea, I found the picture, the blossom wasn't as bad as I remembered!
