Two mini Phal. hybrids Male
Default Two mini Phal. hybrids
I purchased these two beauties yesterday from Al’s Orchid Greenhouse. I live about 3 hours from there, and decided to make a day trip of it.

The first two pics are Phal. (honghenensis "Mr. Biggles" X hainanensis "Flower Power"). It's mounted on a piece of cork, covered in roots, leaves only about two inches long. Semi-deciduous, so it only has one leaf right now, but has two spikes. Fragrant of sugary sweet grapes.

The last two pictures are Phal. (Musick Sweetheart X equestris "B#100"). It was "not for sale," but Al was generous enough to let me buy it, as he had two of them. It has two spikes, one of which is working on several branches. Total of 24 flowers and buds. Main plant and two basal offshoots. It's also fragrant, smells like grape kool-aid. It's growing in Hydroton pellets, soon to be mounted to a piece of cork. Leaves are about three inches long.

Those are adorable Tim. Really like the second one, probably 'cause equestris is one of my favorite species and that one sure shows the equestris influence.

Tim, those are incredible! I love the first one with the purple lip - that's really unusual for a phal!

I LOVE the first cross - it is very unique. I love both parents and the offspring is fabulous.
