ChannerT...keep us up-to-date on your $5 find!!! Sounds like a happy plant!

Any suggestions on where to get a Mini Mark? This has been on my wish list and I just had a birthday so I have $ burning a hole in my orchid-lovin' pocket.

The five dollar deal didnt end up flowering, our new kitten got to it while i was at work one day . Kinda bummed I didnt get to see what color it was

heh animals dogs tails are deadly to the flowers too...mine are still chuggin along. Ive had some losses but the phals are growing. Phal Pink lady just tossed up another spike and as mentioned my amabilis is spikin now too...They seem to be growing very slow in the cool weather. I only notice this bec in the summer months when they spike they bud and bloom out what seems to be pretty fast. That would make sense since its warmer. I hope they dont take too long

I have one phal not spiking and its a baby off the surf song and it just got planted a few months ago. 8 of 9 phals with spikes. AND I used to be a phal killer

I now have 4 Phals in spike!! I just noticed a spike on my Phal Sogo Vivien today and a spike on my Phal Fullers Sunset last week or so! I have one phal on my Phal Windowsill that hasn't spiked yet (other than my seedling) -same phal that I have no clue what the flower colors are I bought it for $2 at Lowes out of flower. I am guessing it has purple flowers b/c the leaves are dark with purple/red tint.

I don't have that many Phals in spike, 6 (7 if counting one that's coming with a new spike while still having a flower left on its old one), and 6 Phals on bloom. Considering I have 26, it's not much really. Funny thing, is that almost all the Phals with mottled foliage that are spiking/about to flower now, while all but one equestris are not.
