thanks Nicole - first Phal that not only didn't die in my care, but has actually thrived - between the two plants in this pot, there were 6 spikes this past year. Sequentially blooming - I just recently cut them back because I couldn't fit the plant on the windowsill for a few months already.

That Phal is gorgeous WhiteRabbit.

Not consistantly like yours, but every now and then. I was mostly refering to the color pattern though, and I've seen so many with this color pattern throughout orchid board and nursrys/grocery stores. Mine is blooming right now, and are sort-of ruffled,but all the blooms are backward! (don't leave your house for more than a week and let your mom take care of your orchids, or at least remind her not to turn them around.:blushing:)

Heres mine. This was my first orchid.It's currently in bloom for the 5th time on the same stem, this is it's 2nd bloom on that stem from two years ago!:love: There are my two other orchids on that tiny table, a den. (gone to orchid heaven :tombstone:) and another NOID, who is currently growing roots like crazy! :D

wow - that looks fabulous - a very happy plant!

Thank you all. :blushing:

its in full bloom now. i didn't realize it til today, but i went to sit down on the sofa next to it and its FRAGRANT. its subtle but very much present. i kept getting wafts of something and didnt think it was the plant til i poked my nose towards it and wow. its smells of plumerias or some kind of tropical citrusy soap. very clean and light. what a great noid

nice! i noticed that the two smaller white phals i posted above are both fragrant

:agree:
If I saw one like this one, Lots of spikes & flowers, pale colouring, 2 plants in one...I wouldn't resist! Delightful all round!
