I'm totally thrilled about this one

Laura made me buy it last year when it had just one lonely little spike...must be happy here 'cause there are five now!!!

...and yes Doc, it's time for pics of blooms taken over the pool

It's mounted on tree fern, in an area that is rather bright but only the back of the mount faces the brightest area...did I explain that right?

It was also furthest away from the 52 degree heater all winter and got watered probably twice a week for the past few months.

About a week ago, I put it in my large tank rather near the top and the blooms are bursting open!

I've never measured the light in there so I have absolutely no clue is the answer to whoever asks

Great looking Phal! I have a hard time with mounted phals. I just can't keep up with its water needs, even watering once a day. Think I'm going to rip it off the mount and chuck it in a pot!
