Nice Phals! Super nice!

This is my newest terrarium/paludarium/vivarium thingy. Its a 40 gallon breeder tank turned on its side so it becomes a vertical tank. It has a background on three sides for more mounting opportunities.

I LOVE the leaf colour on P. Lovely Kid (lobbii x parishii) - really awesome! Great set of plants there - you're going to have quite a show when they are in flower.

Please post the photos of your P. deliciosa when it opens - I can't wait to see that one!

One of the buds on the P. deliciosa blasted. Don't know if any will make it.

Oh, Tin... sorry to hear that. That is exactly what I'm afraid will happen with my new P. lowii - it is a risk, I think, anytime you get plants that are in spike. The adjustments the plant needs to make traveling, then in a new home, are not condusive to having buds turn into flowers. I'm checking mine several times a day and just waiting to see the tell-tale shriveling.

The start of a spike on my P. deliciosa hasn't moved at all, so I'm not sure I will see flowers on mine this year either.
