Oh, this is going to be nice this year.
 

Not a great photo of the spike, but that's a main spike with five laterals and, as of this time, about 30 buds. Flower photo is from a previous blooming. I can't wait for this one! I'll post more when it blooms.

The cross is Phal, Candlelit Dreams 'Delightful'.

Awesome! :wtg:

It is always great to get a nice show of blooms! Can't wait to see them all opened! :)

Is this a Baldan's Kaleidescope cousin? My BK 'Golden Treasure' likes to bloom like crazy too.

It looks like you're going to have a beautiful display of blooms very soon!

The first bud on the main stem just started to open today, 2/15.

Oh man you're in for a real show! Have you got it in a window, greenhouse, or what?

Top shelf of a four shelf rack in my living-room. It's on the east end of the rack, about 2' in from a south facing window shaded by a shear curtain on very sunny days. Also on sunny days, I have an overhead fan that I run in reverse (sucks up and spreads the air along the ceiling and walls) for air circulation. The largest leaves are about 14 x 4.5" and it's growing in a 10" shallow pot in coarse bark.

Hope that answers your questions.

:cheer:

Wowza, what have you been feeding that thing!!!

That is exciting!!! :)

I have a mini phal that is blooming for the third time, and I'm excited that it has two side spikes for the first time!
