How long for phal from spike to bloom?

[jkofferdahl]

Typically a Phal will go from spike initiation to bloom in roughly three months. But Phals also never follow rules, and so do what they want.

A slow grower like bellina could take it's time. Mine, though, typically have managed to follow the three-month rule, I think because the spike is so short and so compensates for the slowness.
