My Dtps I-Hsin 'Black Jack' look-a-like NoID

[The Mutant]

Or, my evil Phal as it is also called (it's dark, and dark = evil).

This Phal is very hard to photograph since I can't take pics of it when it's too overcast outside, due to me having a lousy camera that needs lots of daylight. Also, the camera loves to enhance some colours and neglect others which is why photos of this Phal demand a lot of colour adjustments on the computer afterwards. I have tried to get the colours as close to the real ones as possible, but this is on my computer screen. What it might look on yours I have no idea.

As you can see, the two newest flowers, which both developed after the chid had been re-potted, have much more yellow on the lip. I don't think it has ever had as much yellow before not even on the newly opened flowers since I bought it. It seems it really wanted some fertilizer.

I'm also very glad that the spike has started growing again after the re-potting. This means I have even more flowers to look forward to. And, yes, it is one of my favourites.

So, by popular demand from one person, here it is!
