8 years or so late here ..... did that one re-flower? And if so ----- any pics of the flowers?

Even if that particular phal flowered like it did every time, I genuinely would keep it. I like individualism!

The spike developed 3 buds and possibly another one to come. The first flower has opened. It is a good size flower but nowhere near the size of the 'singolo' that was on it when given to me.
I'm happy - it's a phal in bloom out of season for me. My friend is happy that she gave a gift that keeps on giving!

Well, the Singolo is a Threeolo this time round . The blooms are actually quite large now they have developed.
