Right now I have three Phal parishii, two mounted and one potted. This one, mounted, opened the first flower yesterday, and it's simply a delight. The potted plant, from Peter Lin, is in spike. At least so far, this is the smallest of any Phal I've bloomed (chibae is in bud and I expect smaller flowers), and not much larger than my smallest orchid altogether (Zygostates alleniana). Here's the flower with the plant where it sits on my mini rack:
Here's a slightly better view of the flower:
TO better show the size of the flower, here it is next to the nib of a Flair pen:
