Phals in bloom
I've been growing since September of 2012 and this is the 1st year I've "summered" my orchids outside. What a difference! Of 10 phals, 3 are in bloom and 5 in spike. They totally did NOT do that last year! So here are the 3 in bloom. Only a couple buds open on each, so not real showy, but will post more pics later.
I LOVE that middle one! She sent out a spike UNDER a leaf, so grew horizontally. And grew - about 2 and 1/2 feet, with an "annex" spike above that flower you see! I think she looks rather exotic!
Not a clue what species these Phals are, but I like them.
Happy growing, friends!
