Phal season again! :)
Default Phal season again! :)

The first one is Mount Lip (sib crossing).
That looks like a one gigantic spike, but there are three spikes.

Two old ones, that I cut a little bit each year (for past two years), and each time make lots of flowers from side spikes. This past fall, it added a third and brand new spike.

I always enjoy them from the front, then the other day I was looking at them from behind and noticed that the tip of all three spikes started growing again. yay!!!

Love this plant, but I wish it was a bit smaller.

The third shot is of three minis spiking.
I almost want to just pop them open.

The last one is reblooming "micro mini". It has more flowers than when I bought it, so I'm proud! it also branched but that branch is not bearing any buds.

I like the intense color and the white lining that accentuate the whole flower!
I wish I knew the name. sogo yelling coffee, pixie...could be anything, right?

Very nice. Would you explain what you mean by "cut a little bit each year"? Do you mean after it blooms for a second flowering? Thanks.

Really lovely flowers on that first one. It looks stunning with those three spikes. Love the colours on the others too

The mini reminds me of Queen Beer.

That Mount Lip is pretty impressive. What's the flower count on it this year ?

A lovely reward for your good culture. I'm happy to see some of mine are also budding up. I'm partial to the mini phals mainly due to space restrictions.
