Phal parishii

Here's another P parishii, this one from Peter Lin, which is now happily blooming on three spikes with a fourth about to start:

Nice pics, and even nicer blooms. I am curious, I have one of these and it has not done a whole lot of anything. At least it is waiting for me to correct it's life. I think that mine needs more humidity. Are yours grown in orchidarium? Thanks in advance.

What an adorable little plant and clearly well grown. Lovely!

I have three parishii. Two grow with my other miniatures, where temperatures range from high 60s at night to above 80 during the day. The humidity in the room is about 68-72% during the day and down to about 55 at night. Light's supplied by 4 T5 bulbs. This latest one pictured, though, has been growing in my somewhat cooler area where nights can drop to 60, humidity is about 10-15% lower, and it gets more natural light.

One side note to Estacion Seca - when I first posted parishii you asked if I detected a fragrance. The first one I posted didn't seem to have one. This one, however, does have a light fragrance which is reminiscent of day-old dog urine. Thankfully it's quite light.

Ha ha. We know what day-old dog urine smells like.

Dog urine? Eeeeew, my little P parishii has a light, sweet fragrance. A bit citrusy and very faint, more fragrance in the mornings. This is my first bloom and there are four flowers.

Your plant and blooms are beautiful!
