Miniature "Chocolate Drop"

[LuvPhals]

Does anyone have this little mini Phal? The flowers are almost black into purples. This was one listed at $35.00 and it's calling out to me!! LOL!

I do have this one! It was blooming when I got it, which was about 4 months ago. I grow it in S/H and it's doing great. It's my favorite Phal when non-blooming (I have other bloom's that I like better, but this one has really dark leaves that speckle red without lightening up).

Thanks! It's on my list! The local garden center here only gets the usual plants in so I will have to order it in the near future! It looks delightful and different. Can you post a picture of the plant?

Is yours fragrant? If so, what does it smell like to you?
Also, is it one of those that continues to bloom from the same spike, or should I cut the spike down all the way?
