phal. parishii
It's only one bloom, but it's the first for this "survivor". The spike was attacked by aphids, and it looked for a while there wouldn't be any flowers. Now the plant is growing a new leaf, and even managed this one bloom.

Nice save!  I love parishii, it's such a cutie! Mine's not doing too well that the moment. It got neglected when we were busy packing/moving last summer, and being mounted it didn't take it to well, and most of the roots died. It's now potted, and I'm slowly coaxing some new roots out of it.

Thank you all for looking and commenting.
Cody: I'm really surprised you didn't ask Silken to bring one from our show, there were a few vendors who had them for sale, but you now have the lindenii.
Camille: it doesn't take much to kill this one. My first one was mounted, and didn't like it at all. This one was already mounted on epiweb, which I hate. The vendor built a little "cage" around it, filled with styrofoam beads and chopped sphagnum. The mesh front is now totally overgrown with moss. The humidity in this terrarium is always 60% or more. I still hope to buy an "insurance" one in June at the Calgary show. Good luck with yours.

Huh, I probably overlooked it if it was on the Ten Shin list (my OS only made preorders with four vendors), but yeah, I have a lobbii, so there were others that were wanted more. |
