This was the whole plant last year - first time to bloom for me.

This is the plant this year - note the second spike growing.

Last year there were four blooms and this year six blooms. It is a sequential bloomer - the blooms open in rapid succession, last about two weeks and then fade. In a few weeks, you get a second round of blooms. This is a very interesting plant.

Brooke, I really love this one. Does it always grow down or is that just the way you have it mounted? Where in the world did you find this one? I really love it! :)

Wow, how beautiful, I love the photos and the flowers are amazing!

Absolutely beautiful :love:

Hi Brooke, very nice ... :bowing

My dowery is doing that at the moment. A real shame that the flowers decay after a few days.

Nice plant, and good info about the second flush of blooms. I don't believe I've ever seen this one.

Spectacular!!

Thanks everyone!

Kiki-do this phal grows naturally in this down position. Even when potted it will grow over the edge of the pot, never in the upright position. I purchased this plant from Dwayne Louder right here
