That plant looks so healthy I would have been suprised if it didn't spike for you! Great growing!

Here's the latest from my monster phal--

Sporting two spikes now, the second one is well under way.


And a most recent pic of the monster phal's two new blooms.


And here is my Sogo cross, also sporting two spikes. This one has miniature flowers that are all veiny/striped and I'm told when the plant is healthy and mature, sports loads of long-lasting flowers. Lets hope so!


Here's Pauline with her sideways (for now) spike. It grew under a leaf and is having to make its way out.


A white NOID, with an interesting spike... its a weird-looking one. The plant is doing very well in s/h but I don't remember its spike looking so odd.


This is Phal. 'Ember'-- sporting a new leaf as she slowly gets settled into s/h.


Same type of plant as the above, but this one has been in sphag in a bag for going on three months with no roots and no new ones to speak of. Yet, she grows a new leaf. Not sure what to make of this-- any advice? She's being kept warm and humid/moist.


Brand new mini phal-- NOID and No idea of the color--
but it is a very healthy little bugger. Not sure of its roots entirely but it looks like they just need some air and some even moisture. Actually, I got two...hehe..




Once again I'd like to thank all the great members here on the forum, who without their knowledge and willingness-- even JOY-- of spreading their knowledge I would not be nearly as lucky/successful at growing these rewarding plants. Thanks guys!!!!

Hi Erce- yeah they are pretty sweet. I don't know how much bigger they get than this but they do have these small flowers-- and so far, the ones I've seen, have loads of them. What they lack in size they make up for in flowers....or so that has been my experience.

here in denmark we have something called ladyorchids - they are some kind of gen-manipulated phals i have had mine for more then 10 mount growing 3-4 leafs and all of them small - so i dont think it gets any bigger - but all minis are pure love - just like puppys

Third flower is opening up!!!

Good thing about orchids... though they are open now and I'm about to leave ona trip, I can count on them being here when i get back. I love how long these blooms last.

there is a saying that "when it rains, it pours." And it is usually referring to bad things happening and all happening at once...

but in this case, once these orchids get blooming, they all seem to come at once!

Third bloom is open on my Monster Phal. Not sure how many more will join in on the fun but I counted 12 more growing buds!
