Default Some Phals and a Paph
I'm trying to make myself feel good today because:

1) Went into the GH on this exceptionally sunny day and decided I'd change things around....Big mistake!

2) I've been lazy about staking my phal spikes and they tend to go every which way. So I tried to stake my Phal Long Pride Treasure and you guessed it "it snaped!" So much for enjoying this beauty!

3) While moving things around I knocked over 2 plants and had to repot...what a mess and I hate a mess in my GH, as many of you already know...good thing is the roots not so good so here's hoping it makes it.

So here are some pics to cheer me up It's not working






I know this isn't a Phal, but just look the other way and enjoy it... it's a NOID paph not the prettiest paph I've posted

Doc, I have one phal I have broken the spike on *twice* since last summer. It's just trying again for the third time. Sometimes they just won't give up.

I love the Bonica. Any idea what the parents are? Can't find it in Orchidwiz.

Sorry to hear you had a bad day in the GH Doc. I guess we all have them, no matter where we grow.
I just went to water my Phal. Brother Little Spotty and discovered the spike has blasted. What a bummer, I was really looking forward to seeing this beauty again. Maybe I'll get a side shoot. I was so hoping to get a keiki from this for you........don't give up hope yet!

Difficult for me to use anything coconut as I always have to add the "little extra" to it...........
But for you, I'll try!!
