phal violacea malaysian blue x blue norton

one of the nice things about growing under lights and having a warm house is getting some blooms during the winter

this is the first time ive seen the flower its nice but I do like the scent more

looks a bit more lighter in the photo than it actually is.

It's a cutie!

Very nice flower! I wish you could share that scent. Must be really nice if you like it better than the appearance.

I like the dark lip on it, I should get a 'blue' sometime in the spring. Do you get yours from the German nurseries?

Congrats on bloom. What lights do you use? And at what distance?

on that shelf there's 3 x 18w t5 under counter link lights I think they're about 2 foot long, made reflectors for them out of round white plastic guttering.

they're about 6 inches maybe a bit more from the lights, the tubes are 6400k if I remember correctly.


there's white plastic grow sheeting or whatever its called behind them

theyre on 12 hours atm, might move some out to the greenhouse when its done and it wont cost an arm and a leg to heat.
