A very interestingly deformed flower on white phal.
 

So, I got this new white phal last weekend. It has two spikes and one of them is branching nicely, so it looked too good to pass :biggrin:

After I brought it home, I found one of the many flowers had this very strange shape.
It looks as if the main flower gave a birth to two extra flowers. How odd!

I'm posting some more pictures of yellow/pink stripe phal I got on the same day. I like how many flowers they are bearing! :D

Wow, they are amazing!

Very cool! Haven't ever heard of that before.

Thank you, I know, right? I couldn't pass them up and they were only 20 or something each at a farmer's market. I love what I can find at farmer's market. :)

Thing is the second time they flower under my care, the bloom count normally reduces down to about half or so.
I think maybe it's the lower humidity because I think I provide them great care other than low humidity which I cannot qiute keep up to an ideal level.
I don't want paint come off the wall and furniture fall apart just to keep plants happier :rofl:

Me neither. I've heard and seen peloric form on some cattleys and dendrobiums where the lip is transformed into a regular petal.
This is quite something I guess!

Unfortunately the plant is in not so great condition. I just bought it for the nice flower show it carries.

I wouldn't have passed them up either! Wish we had a Farmers Market - on 2nd thought....lol I'm out of space as it is.

out of space....seems to be a common issue for us plant lovers! lol

It is basically a conjoined twin. I've seen a few of these posted, but never one in real life. Probably won't happen next flowering.
