Phal Specie pictures from weekend market
Phal Schilleriana. Several spikes mostly with unopen buds. Those flowers you see are just from around 5 spikes I think. Price is Php7000. It's the same vendor where I got my 115 flowers schilly. Ofcourse I did not get. $155 is not in my budget.
Phal Lueddemaniana. Wow!!! Over 50 plants attached to each others. Mostly in spike but are just starting out. Price is $16 so I took it home. My problem now is how will I going to mount it as is.

All phal species here in the Philippines I believe somehow started from wild collections then the locals would grow them in driftwoods in the backyard and in farm. The species are known to grow like a weed when mounted and I saw plenty of them growing like crazy in trees in households backyards from my last years trip to the Bohol province (my birthplace).
The schilly is in the driftwood and I believe it's been there for a long years now.
The luedde was in the backyard tree (jackfruit) of the seller and multiplied there fruitfully. Closer inspection reveals that there's a mother plant and the rest are keiki's. I did not ask though how many years it took. Again it was started as one plant from the wild.
