phal cornu cervi

[RJSquirrel]

ya seen these too everywhere. this is a bloomer. been blooming for some time and now has the 2nd raceme budded and starting to blossom. gets lots of shaded morning sun bordering on extremely high for phals. seems to like it .. I keep it planted in orchiata bark and charcoal mix 50/50 and hose it down liberally as needed. Most of my mixz are geared for me not being able to overwater the plants. As I dont mind over watering them at all.

Looks like it's nice and waxy. How many blooms at 1 time do you get?

Love this little flower

thanks you I have had 2 blooms at once on a single raceme. The 2nd falls pretty fast after the 1st. I have seen older plants of course with 6 racemes and 12-15 open flowers. They are impressive.

had a female cardinal in my orchid garden this morning flying all around and knockin my plants over. what the heck now I got birds in here too!!..you got bugs you might get birds?. So I opened the gate and let the bird out. Well the bird stood there looking at me and Im okey bye bye birdy.Bird still stood there looking at me. Went back inside and I hear this faint cheep cheep cheep cheep..oh boy more birds. oooo It was a baby cardinal just learned to fly and found my garden and got trapped. kindly showed him the way out and baby birdy flew some too..now mommas happy .

Only problem was here come the lawnmower man and his leaf blowing buddies..I hope it survived being on the ground and being blown hacked shaved and cleaven at. Life.

thanks you maybe the flowers be more next time. Im still learning how to grow nice plants, blooms are secondary and a bonus for a pretty plant!!!
