Default Phal lowii

I got this one at last year's Tampa Orchid Club show/sale on Halloween. It was $10 because the spike with one bloom on it was broken...I took it anyway

It lost two of it's three leaves and started spiking a few weeks ago. The spike has three buds, one of which has bloomed

It's very hard to get a good photo of this plant! The spike is so delicate, the slightest breeze sets it in motion
I'm also kind of paranoid about breaking the spike when I bring it to the TOC meeting on Tuesday. I think I'll hold this one in my hands for the ride down there

Ross, if you see this, the pot to the left of the full-plant pic is the one you gave me when you visited
It's looking very happy

Beautiful and seems to be a neat mini. Please let us know how big it gets when it matures.

This should be the mature size. It's a deciduous plant but has hung on to it's last leaf for dear life
