its been almost 5 weeks since they got the 1st cold blast. too cold IMO but cold indeed they got.. I have 13 phals mostly hybrids but one amabilis double crossed with itself.
its an o.............
.....dd view but had to get them all in the pic!!!
the one in the black decotainer is the surf song that gave me over 50 flowers last time. Only 1 spike so its taking a break. I was really worried about it after it bloomed as it was very sad looking, leaves all flat and worn out. A good summer of heat and moisture brought it right back out again.
Oh and out of 13 phals... 9 have spikes.. woot!! we did this last year and I lost most of the buds to the bud burglar. I do something else this year to keep them. maybe. I dunno yet what to do....
one thing you see common with all these phals is how high and full of water they hold the leaves up. Very Happy!!
they just got watered today too and I could almost feel the plant pumping water into the leaves
this is where they sit under the bench. eastern exposure 70% shaded most of the year. Winter sun they can take full morning. They are protected from the cruel western sun in the afternoon.
the phals come out to say hello to OB
