I really love this Phal. I'm just sad that because of the spike I couldn't bring it back to the Netherlands with me. Now that it's (probably) in full bloom I'll see if my sister can take a pic of it.
It's very common in Europe, I've seen it a few times in garden centers under its commercial trade name: Phal Philadelphia

Lovely, Camille. Although it must be tough being far from your phals, you have a wonderful sister watching over them and sending you pics.

Beautiful! Your sister did a great job on the photo! I must ask, is it potted or mounted, and if potted, what medium are you using?

Yeah, her photos are pretty good! I did tweak it just a bit to get the background blacker, since she had placed the plant right up against the cloth there were some shadows.
I have it potted in plain bark, which works well for most of my phals. Needs to be repotted this spring, it's outgrown the current 4 inch pot. Just wish it would grow some more leaves, it doesn't seem to like hanging on to more than 2 at once.
