Phal mannii in spike

[No-Pro-mwa]

I have had this one since 2005. It say's a warm grower but I have always kept it in my North East window. When it gets really cold and cold air is blowing in the window I do pull it out and set it above the stove.

It seems to like it there and has always had 2 spikes. So this year it has it's 2 spikes that are about to start to open and now it is starting a new one. Which is growing very slow. I hope it doesn't stop.

I am going to put a picture of last years blooms to show the difference in mine from.....I forgot who's. leth something, any way those 2 darker ones.

Nice!

Congratulations! Looks as though you will have a show!

Thank you Sonya and Leafmite. I hope so, this is a tough plant, it has survived me and blooms every year with 2 spikes. If this 3 rd one does grow then it will make it last much longer.

might just be the picture. I'd say medium as Rosie was explaining it to someone in another thread. Not a mini but not as big as some of my hybrids.

I love it, when I bought it the gal I got it from told me the bottom petals reminded her of gaucho pants. they do me too.
