Joshua Irwin Ginsberg (bellina x venosa)
This Phal is hands down the one with the most sentimental value to me, as it is the first novelty Phal I ever bought. It has and continues to be the best grower for me, and its flowers are extremely flat. The original spike it had when I got it gave me three blooms, then died, but it has put out these two new spikes, and each are working on two buds.
Here is the whole plant.

The first spike would have had a bud about to pop, but I accidentally knocked it off while watering.

Second spike, which now has the largest bud.

And a shot of both from another angle.

I'll update this thread when it blooms.

It looks lush, happy and healthy. I love the shiny sheen on the leaves and the moist roots inside the transparent plastic pot

You're obviously doing an excellent job of growing that phal.. It looks very healthy and robust. Great color and vigor.
