Phalaenopsis parishii
I love this little one. First of the chat projects, first in my heart among my Phals. 
I think this will be its last bloom until it decides to put on new spikes

Cheryl that is soo cool! This one is from the first bloom spike. When it finished the first time, it left a few unmatured buds on each spike. Then I moved the orchid into my orchidarium and it very quickly and suddenly started to develop this last of the buds. I love my orchidarium!!

I can see that it is getting the best of attention...I had to make a few watering/humidity changes in order for this little guy to produce again.
I do have one question how in the world do you keep the interior glass walls clean and clear without water spots??? I have a 26 gal in use right now and thinking on making a change in the future.

Oh, they get spotty a bit, but not much because I use distilled water to spray. That keeps the spots to a min.
