Tindo, you got a winner! I got 2 flowers and got all nutty over that. Mine doesn't hold a candle to yours.

UH-OH......the leaves are beginning to look very suspicious. They're losing color, turning slightly yellow. What's going on, anyone know? I repotted this into a larger pot. Are these tempermental and don't like being disturbed? I've got a few more buds growing nicely so I'm very confused with what's going on. I've been growing this with the rest of my Phals.

HELP PLEASE

Could be a little shock .. let it get use to it's new environment ..
Phals are hardy - it will come back

Just a couple of flowers on the second blooming of my newbie. I think they're prettier than the first blooms. What I'm really waiting for is next blooming season when they've been in my care all that time...that is, if I do it right and don't kill them, first.

Yeah, definitely prettier now.

Gorgeous, Sandy!! Man, the speckling in the lip is just too much! I am definitely going to get one of these. At some point. *sigh*

I really want you to have one of these too, Yvan. ebay had quite a few recently, none at the moment (I just looked for you

).

Hmmm...soon perhaps... I'll certainly be keeping my eyes out for one!

Sandy, you enabler, you!
