Cute little no i.d. Phal - Orchid Board

WhiteRabbit · #1 06-22-2013, 10:03 PM

I got this one last summer at Trader Joe's. Discovered a second, tiny one in the pot when I got home, which, while tiny, is apparently big enough to bloom

The larger one has two spikes - one, a terminal spike (further proof that Phals maybe just don't like me ?)

- grows in a north facing window, potted in a plastic pot, medium fir bark mix.

The small one is growing in a west facing window that gets some sun mid-afternoon, potted in a plastic pot in sphag.

Thanks for looking

Very nice one!
It looks just like my Phal. Liu's Cute Angel.

Thanks everyone

It does indeed look like a Dtps Liu's something

I've seen a few different ones posted that all look very similar ...

Will be interesting to see how long it will keep in flower, my termy spike noid has been in flower for 6 months, the terminal spike was produced 3 months ago, the other two spikes continue flowering.

Thanks Joy, Rosie

NOID, yes, waiting to see what it does ... the regular spike seems to have already stopped growing, which is surprising to me as when I got this last summer, spikes continued to develop new buds for a few months after ...

The regular spike is quite low on the plant, so still a few leaf axis that could spike ...
