Phal Zuma Pixie 'Kultana'
--- and the colors even came out accurately on these pics
Bought this at a show last winter/spring in bloom. Over the summer it bloomed rather sequentially. Each flower lasted about a month. The flowers are large for the size of the plant, IMO.
On this spike I got 4 flowers at once. However, I've already had one flower die. My suspiscion is that being such a small plant [as you may have noticed in the pic itis in a 2" (5cm) pot] that it was too much of a strain to maintain 4 flowers at once.

Paul that's just gorgeous! Love that rich color!
I have a P. equestris that does that sequential blooming thing. It's only had 2 flowers at most open at the same time. Now it's struggling to have more than 1 open at the same time. I suspect it's because it's also trying to grow a Keiki and a new leaf all at once. Perhaps when it gets bigger it will have more resources to multi task.

OMG!!!!!!! That is amazing! Congratulations. I really like this. My first obsession was blue Catts, my second was Bulbos, My third mini phals, and now my fourth is blue mini Phals! I hope I see this sort of thing at my next orchid show.
