Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm'
This one gave me two blooms this year after a two or three year hiatus. I missed the second bloom as I was away on vacation.

So cute!
Sadly I had to trash mine back when I had a terrible mealy bug infestation. They adored that plant, and sucked the life out of it.... I need to replace it, it's such an amazing little Phal

I just checked on it and its growing a new leaf. Yay! I hope I see some new blooms soon too. Camille, get yours fast, this is one of those Phals you don't realize how much you miss until you see someone post a pic of one.

Here in the US there are a few vendors that have them now (they can't always be found) - Clown Alley, Oak Hill and one ebay vendor, cjcollectibles. I have one coming this week from the latter. I also have a Mini Mark I got last Spring from Al's Orchids, but he doesn't have them listed currently online.

I miss it so much, it was my favorite Phal, and my first named Phal too. I'm hoping to find one at a show in 3 weeks, otherwise I'll order one. I got my original one at the floating flower market in Amsterdam but I have never seen one there since.

Well good luck, I hope you find it. Its such a great little phal. I have had this one since 2006. Here are some pics of it from years past
First from when I got it in 2006
Second from August 2008
Third from February 2009

I love this one, such cute little flowers.
I've not managed to rebloom one yet. I have two and they both had masses of flowers when I bought them, but when I thought the first was dying I bought the second and neither of them are doing that well for me. However both have grown 2 new leaves each this year and I am seeing masses of root growth on the first one and some on the second.  |

Good luck with that. I have found this one to be really really really intolerant of water left standing on the leaves.

I noticed the same, they hate getting wet!
Rosie, you should try increasing the light a bit. I was under the impression with mine that it needed more light than the average Phal to bloom.
