phal lueddemanniana var delicata 'orchidphile' chm/aos
I've had this little guy for almost a year now. It is blooming on an existing spike that was dormant for 6 months or so. It also put out a second spike and will be blooming on that one shortly (there's a big fat bud about ready to open). This bloom opened up last night. I think it will likely open a little further. I wanted to share these pics because I'm so psyched that it actually bloomed. Check out that funky hairy lip! More pics to follow when it has a few of the blooms open at once.

Thanks. It's the first time it's bloomed for me and I bought it out of bloom / spike... It's always such a treat to see the flower after a long wait.

Very cool, especially the close up of the lip. Very neat.

Got a few new pics in better light. 2 of the buds are opening - I'll post more pics if they all stay open together.
