Phal violacea blooming now

[catgrrrl]

Beautiful, brooke! I also got an alba from Big Leaf, but it's a baby. It does have a bud, though, that gets bigger and bigger every day. I hope I can get a beautiful bloom like yours. How long have you had yours? Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks everyone - glad you enjoyed them.

Mspat and catgrrrl - I've had the plant for four years and it has six spikes.

2ljd - I've kept three from the compot and gifted the others to friends and my orchid club raffle table.

Mayres you can't really see it but the top leaf also has the ripples in it. If you find out what causes this let me know because I don't have a clue.

Thanks, Brooke. I hope I can keep mine alive and well enough to be able to bloom close to as well as yours. Beautiful!!!
