That is a very nice leudde! Much nicer looking than mine. I may have to buy one with better breeding. Krull Smith has a nice one I've been eyeing.

Thanks guys!
Some more buds opened, I really like this species.

WOW!!! Those blooms are absolutely stunning!! (picking my jaw up off the floor- seriously!)

I love how these spikes are arranged and how showy and dramatic they are. I would really love to add this to my collection. I've always had it rough sometimes my phals to bloom at times instead of sending up keiki after keiki. My uncle is a grower and seller of phals and he said that it could probably be that i need to increase the phosphorus in my fertilizer. I was using a balanced fertilizer all this time. I'm putting that into effect as soon as i get back from vacation.

I have also heard that too much nitrogen can prevent blooming. Maybe your PPM of N needs to be diluted a bit more.

My nitrogen isn't high...it rly seems to be the need for more Phosphorus. Won't kno until I try nonetheless.
