it is a noid, but no less a stunner. the last time she bloomed, it put out a single spike with several branches. the blooms had a deep rich color and they lasted FOREVER. in the last few weeks, it also grew a new leaf & several root tips. here is the new spike:

about 3 nights ago, east tn had a temp drop into the upper 50's. it got about 69 f in the house, so i'm guessing thats why we got a new spike. i cant wait to see what happens this go around. this will make the third spike on this phal in a year. will post pics when it comes in bloom. *excited typing*

Congrats! My 3 phals are growing crazy number of roots and leaves right now thanks to the night time temp drop. I'm hoping to see spikes soon!

How exciting it must be for you.
I love the color and form of the flowers.
