I'm new to posting here, so should share some of my species Phal babies that are now in bloom.

Phal zebrina


Just starting to bloom-Phal equestris v. cyanochilus. The pale yellow color is quite nice. There are 3 spikes coming .


Phal venosa-an underappreciated species, but one that I think is really beautiful.


One of my very faves-Phal. cornu-cervi. This one has been blooming like crazy most of the summer.


Phal pulchra-the color is just great.


Phal javanica-a tiny gem.


Susan

Welcome to OB Susan!

Your Phals are all lovely but I really like Phal javanica. Those markings are mesmerizing!
How tiny is she?

Just wondering, did you get any of these from Olympic Orchids in Seattle. I've been looking at their special collection of mounted species Phals and I'm sorely tempted...

Thanks for sharing your blooms.

They're all so gorgeous! I especially like your pulchra, Susan. I've been seeing a lot of these online lately, but I like the unique hint of white mottling on yours.

I've also purchased a few things from Sorella, but that was at a show. How well do they pack plants for shipping? I've been drooling over their fasciata for over a year, but haven't made the plunge. I'm sure they do a good job, since they obviously love orchids, but I always like to hear someone's personal experience about a vendor. Thanks!

I was looking at that offer too! I had to grab a towel to mop up the drool. But since I had recently received 4 species phals, I ordered some cool-growing orchids (my first Masde, Miltoniopsis, and Neofinetia ) because I've been wanting to try them, too, and my temperatures are more appropriate for them than for phals (although it doesn't seem to slow them down too much!).

The plants I purchased from them were at a show, so don't have any direct experience with items shipped from Sorella. I'm sure they would be fine.

I wish you the best on the cool growers. I tried some "warmth tolerant" masdies years ago. They were fine until we got some 90 degree days, then they weren't so warmth tolerant .

Wonderful flowers. I've never seen one like the zebera before and it's stunning.

Wow! Beautiful collection! I love the zebrinia and the equestrus. I have never seen that variety of equestrus before. (I would love to know where you got this) It's simply stunning! Love the pale lavender tip on the lip

Wowwee!! Beautiful, Susan!! *Love* the zebrina and pulchra. Cornu-cervi has just recently bloomed for me for the first time, and it is now a definite fave of mine too.
