Blooming crazy Phal

[gngrhill]

This baby bloomed from Feb to Aug last year (8 months) and just came into spike last month again (what a surprise). Wonder if it'll do 8 months again.

It looks like it has enough buds to go on for while.

I have one that has flowered for three years soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if yours flowered for at least 8 months again.

It's one of the reasons I like phals so much. I won't stop buying Noid phals either they're just as good as species/ other types ect. and their flowers last longer in my experience!

HOT color...fantastic! Name please!

Is that a real red bloom or an artifact of the lighting? Looks great.

It's not real red, hard to describe. It's kind of a cranberry color

I still have a problem with getting them to bloom (except for this one), and I do have a problem with buds blasting, but I keep trying. I have 8 of them in bud or flower now, but some are already showing signs of blasting

That's awful! It took me a while to get my phals to start reblooming, about 2 bloom cycles but now they always spike in Dec/January. I always start running a humidifier when it's dipping below 30%. My humidity gets down to 15% if I don't run it! As long as I keep it above 30 it does well. My vanda over the past 2 winters never got any humidity it would get down into the 50s like 52 by the window with very low humidity it just flowered on the poor thing. I will try to do better by them this year.
