Two Phals starting to bloom.

[RosieC]

My NOID Phals are nothing special, but are still a joy every time they flower.

Just now I have two of them opening buds at the same time.

The white one was a discount one with a broken flower stem and just two physically damaged flowers left. A side spike started soon after I brought it home and has finally openned two new flowers with two more buds still growing.



The second I've had over a year now and this is the third time it's been in flower for me. This is the one some of you may have seen me showing pictures of the roots, because I repotted it while the spike was growing and squeezed it's huge mass or roots back in to the original pot (it should have gone up at least one size if not two).

It didn't miss a beat with the repotting and the main spike has THREE side spikes all forming buds as well as a second spike. The first flower on the main spike has opened (although I expect it to go wider) and a second is just starting to open. The shots are not the clearest but I quite like the shot of the part open bud. I'm really hoping that this 'chid can hold it's ealiest flowers until all the stems and side stems are fully open, because it should be quite a display.
