One of my favorite little Phal species, Phal pallens, is blooming again. It's a rather small orchid and a reliable bloomer once it gets going (it sat and did nothing the first 2 years I had it!) and now often blooms twice a year for me- in January and then again in June-July. It blooms off old spikes as well as new ones, and the old spikes can bloom several years in a row. This time it's also blooming off 2 keikis that I hadn't removed yet.
If you like Phal species, I highly recommend that you add this one to your collection! Unfortunately it doesn't seem very common in cultivation, I rarely see it for sale.
Phal. pallens - lots of blooms this year!
