Phal. Candlelit Dreams 'Delightful'

[Paphluvr]

I never got around to posting a picture of this last year after more buds had opened. Currently blooming on two main stems and four laterals. Ten flowers open so far with seventeen more buds showing .

Breathtaking!
What do you do to have such an abundancy of blooms?

[Paphluvr]

Thanks, Ron. That's probably the best shot I've ever taken of it (of course, the plant cooperated a lot).

Beautiful phal!

rlilia,

I attribute it to good roots and the fact that this is a very mature plant. The largest leaves measure over 15" long and 5" wide. Just for reference, it's in a 8" pot.

Thanks, Ron. The root system is something else! It makes sense.
Thanks for taking a moment to reply.

Wow, gorgeous plant. I agree with Ron, that second shot is wonderful.

This reminds me of Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope which was a big favorite around here for a while, but I think the colouring is softer on yours and I prefer it.
