Here's all my phals currently in bloom. I've had all of them for a year or more. Only one was purchased in bloom about a month ago (from my bf for Valentine's Day).
This one I didn't clip to a support stake, I just let it go where it wanted...
This is the one from Valentine's Day...
Makes me happy that I can keep them alive and happy enough to spike and bloom again. A few of them have little spikes with buds that are coming off of the main spike.
Here is one of my former orchids in its glory. It was a mini phal. Oh it was so pretty. This pic was almost a year ago. Now it's not doing so good. Most of the roots were rotted and I've been trying to nurse it back to health. It does have a new leaf just starting to show so maybe there's hope yet!
