Phalaenopsis bastianii in bud!

[greenbean]

It's going to bloom!!!

I've had this Phal for about a year now. It was in spike when I first got it, but the change in climate made the spike stall. It grew a second, bigger spike, which also stalled when I brought it home from college for the summer. I decided to leave it at home since the conditions there would be better for it anyways, and it's rewarding me (or my parents, rather ) with blooms, on both spikes! I hope it's still in bloom when I come home in May!

Here's pictures of the buds. You can see the barring that the flowers will have. It's growing in a south-facing window for the winter because Pacific Northwest winters are so dim.
