Phal violacea "Malayan"

[Mervin]

More then a year not doing much, this is it's first successful bloom.
This is the fifth bud, the first four ended in bud blast which I don't know why.

Nothing much to get excited.

Do apologize again for the snipped leave tips.

Of course it IS exciting to get a successful bloom after 4 previous buds blasted! And it's beautiful

But such a beautiful bloom!

Looks great! I usually get bud blast on my mounts from lack of humidity/moister.

I have one that is now sending up its first spike. I hope it looks as nice as yours. Nice growing.

Beautiful! Well done for getting one bud to bloom, I'm sure you will get many more blooms in the future.
Thanks for posting.

Beautiful! I love the size of the flower in relation to its leaves on those species and the purple-magenta color is gorgeous.

Do I see more buds on the way in the second picture? I love the form of this species. Hopefully you will still get a beautiful display of blooms!

Gorgeous.

Great looking plant and bloom. I do love seeing Phals mounted. Come to think of it, everything else looks pretty good mounted too. I'm a big fan of treefern as well. How often do water your Phals mounted to treefern?
