masdevallia angel tang- non scented- im so proud of this one! i got it in buds at the SEPOS show and that bud bloomed. since then, it grew a lead and this bloom (2 blooms total). so i take at least partial credit for the 2nd flower. its almost fully open

They're all gorgeous and I love your mega phal!

Just stunning! Your plants look so happy and gorgeous!

Very nice eye candy! I really like the shape of the first one. I don't have any phals that shape. Must get one!

Your mega-phal is HUGE! How big across are the flowers? I've never seen one that big!

OMG - your mega phal is a monster! All are gorgeous plants.

Thanks everyone! This is the first time I've replied any of the plants in the pics. As I got most last summer.

Mega phal is just that,mega! The wood is about 20x12" it was nice getting lots of compliments at the OS meeting today. But I didn't get a ribbon, because I was beat out by a big sogo yukidan! That one was big! 15 flowers all five inches and white! Someday mine will look like that.

Me too! That's what sold me on it! I bought It cheap last summer for $6 at the grocer because it only had one bloom left. This one is scented too, it's awesome!

Thanks! Although I didn't think it's as big as you think it is. In the picture with me holding it, the blooms are a good 6-8" away from my face, it's all perspective. Each bloom is about 4 1/2-5" and there are 7 blooms. A double spike would be impressive!!



You can call me Bob ;)

"have no fear, help is here!"

That mega phal is huge!

Beautiful orchids! That big phal is amazing.

Mega Phal wow!
