New Phal Liodoro

[Lynn in Michigan]

I had one before the great meely bug invasion. It was a very reliable bloomer for me. the smell was a plus!

It smells more at lunch time, not so much at night.
I've been lucky growing phals so I'm expecting to be successful with this one too...although I've put in an "unexplored" corner of the room to try new growing spots (or should I say lack of space).

[rbarata]

It's a lack of space and engineering issue.
I'm growing phals and catts in the same room, using the same window.

And while we're talking, another bud is opening.

Oh wow, that Labellum is awesome! Congrats.

I can see you have a fetiche with labellums.
Thank you very much, Tindomul.

The labellum is the most interesting part of the orchid flower. The fact that they use them as landing pads for pollinators is what I think is so cool. And this is what causes many of them to be so colourful and nicely patterned. I mean, how cool can nature get.
