Phal lobbi - second flowering
 

You decide which flower is better, I love 'em both.

My watering habits don't allow me to mount it or it will dry out and die so I hope it will thrive in a pot. Any suggestions to semi-mount it that won't be as labour intensive as a full mount?

Very nice.

Here is a like that might be helpful.

I have not tried it yet, but it looks interesting.
