My First True Species is a Phal equestris.

[Triffid]

Though I came home from a show with four species, this was the first of the bunch

It's supposed to be of the alba variation, though I must admit in certain lights there is a definite Pinkish tinge (see picture 2 compared with 3). I don't care about that though, it's just so pretty!

It came with a new leaf growing, new roots and in spike and yesterday the first bloom started to open. There is also no sign of bud blast. So I'm really rather happy with this little fellow.
