Noid Phal, How many spikes?

[camille1585]

My two best ones are a named one (Purple Gem) with 4 spikes, and a noid (trade name is Pink Panther) that had 5 spikes at once, which kept extending and blooming for 3 years straight. Started with 2 spikes, and each year another 1-2 new ones would join the fun. It finally stopped blooming last summer......and decided to grow 4 keikis instead. And now I see more buds! Crazy, crazy plant.

Purple Gem sounds like the type of Phal we would all like to have.
