Default Mixed collections of spikes n keikies

I have a few phals and one paph in the process of flowering. There are also several keikies on Phal. Amadeus and Phal. Shin Yuan 'Golden Beauty'. paph. King Arthur is putting up one flower and i'm very much looking forward to seeing all of them again - and Phal. Schilleriana is throwing out a spike for the first time. The phal flowering is, I am told, 'Little Lady'?

Phal. Schilleriana with it's first spike.


Phal. Perfection is 'Chen'


Possibly Phal. Penang Girl


Phal. Kuntrarti Rarashati


Phalaenopsis equestris 'Fairy Tale'


Phal. Amadeus keikies



Phal. Little Lady????


and finally, Bl. Morning Glory 'Valentine Kiss' sheath...

With all your plants getting ready to bloom, you'll have lots of flowers for the holidays! Can't wait for your bloom pictures.

It is so bloody hot here that everything has slowed down a bit, can't wait for cooler weather if only for the plants sake.

Totally jealous of all your spikes.

Thank you! Glen, I wish I could share your pain of the heat - sooo jealous lol.

I'm really excited about the Schilleriana flowering. I often see pics of masses of flowers but usually end up with only 3 - 4 lol. Maybe I'm feeding them too much mmm...some of these are flowering from spikes that had lost their flowers i.e. they seemed to continue forming the spike from the tip and not from a node. Any reason for this?

nice!

I have a noid phal that keeps developing buds on the tips of the spikes - my only experience with sequential bloomer, so don't know if that's typical or not - spikes just keep getting longer and longer

You have so many blooms to look forward to! Are the keikis on the Phal Amadeus natural, or did you induce them with paste? If they're natural, talk about a prolific keiki maker!

I finally got a schilleriana, it's on its way to me as we speak. Hope you'll get a nice spike of flowers this time.

The keikis were fully induced! lol I used a tiny amount of paste - about half the size of a match head and every node on every phal has produced something, either a keiki or a new spike but mostly keikis.
