Thought I would update this thread with a picture of the plant in full bloom. All but 3-4 buds have opened. You can see that as the flowers age they begin to fade to yellow with just a hint of the brown barring.
Looks amazing! How long does each bloom last on average?
My Phal mannii 'dark' that I got in bud 3 weeks ago is just starting to open it's buds. Sadly most blasted and there are only 3 left, but it's still better than nothing!

Camille, it started blooming mid January, and it hasn't dropped any flowers yet. It's probably too much to hope it will last until our orchid show in early April.
Lana, I've had the plant about 2 years. It was NBS when I bought it. As I mentioned earlier in the thread is was not in very good shape when I got it. It has multiple growths, so I'm not sure if it was a compote too entangled to separate or if they are all basal Keikis.
