Just wanted to share the pics of my latest Mini Mark flowers. I bought this plant in March with one flower left on an old spike but with the start of a new spike. That new spike has developed and I now have flowers again.

Thanks Sonya & Nicky.

Not detected a scent at all on mine. Have you noticed one on yours Nicky?

Very Nice pictures! I have never detected a scent on mine either..But it's one of my favourites with equestris amongst others! Good growing !

So cute! It's definitely my favourite hybrid Phal.
those dots, the delicate shape and the funny lip that seems a tongue... Yours is a very beautiful blooming, perfect flowers with strong colours. I love it

I bought a little Mini Mark two years ago. It is healthy and is growing well but... last year it made two stems but a stem turned yellow and the other one made only deformed buds of which only one opened, revealing a monster flower. This year the story is the same so I'm starting to suppose that there's something bad with this plant.
Do you have any idea or experience?

It sure rebloomed fast! Mini Mark is one of my favorites, and I always get multiple spikes from it. It's record so far is 4 spikes at once. Unfortunately the plant is quite ugly and beat up since it didn't take very well to the numerous trips between FR and NL.
