Phal bellina in bud - now in flower :)

[RosieC]

I think it might actually flower this time

I bought this guy back in May last year, my first and currently only species Phal. It grew a spike last summer but the two buds, one after the other, blasted when they were still quite small

I left the old spike on, as it didn't dry up, but it grew a new spike this year and the bud has grown much bigger than it managed last time. I'm really nervous about whether it will actually make it to opening... but I'm getting more hopeful.

I even think there is a second small bud forming.

Fingers crossed for me guys
