Phals with unstaked spikes

[No-Pro-mwa]

Wow that little fellow is doing well.

This is the first orchid I ever got, spikes every November and it is in bloom right now. And it's adding more blooms at the end of the spike, looks like at least three more.

Lovely one!

It's another unstaked spike, but this one holds it's self very upright rather than trailing down. Very waxy flowers, and the spike is very strong as well.

Oh, I like that one! Does it have a name?

Unfortunately something in the DNA of my Phal. Sogo Rose causes the flowers to point down when I don't stake it. The spikes are only about 10" tall so it should be perfect for leaving unstaked if the flowers weren't pointing at the floor.

No name. It's similar to Phal Brother Sara Gold, but this one could be something else as it had no tag.

That's a real shame. I've not come across any of mine doing that.

Very pretty!

Thanks for responding, Rosie. I love the colors and the shape of this one!

This is a rebloom from an old spike that had been staked (top part, obviously), and a new spike that I didn't start staking early enough so I let it just grow. I like it.
