Thanks, Bill. This NoID phal. had nine blooms on the spike and three on the branch. The nine are fading and dropping off while the branch blooms are still hanging in there. I thought the last bud would be a terminal bud on both the spike and branch but it looks like both are starting to swell as if they're thinking about blooming. This is the first time the phal. bloomed since I bought it just before Christmas in 2017, so I don't know if it's a sequential bloomer or not.

Yes, I, too, was taken by the fringe... but not just that but the ever so slight faint pink veining down the middle of each petal and sepal. It's more distinct on the back side of the bloom. I've wondered what species and hybrids went in to make this phal. Too bad the orchid nursery which supplied Kroger with the phal. didn't have an identification tag for it other than phalaenopsis or moth orchid; it's mass-processed so I can water it with an ice cube (Yeah, right!) and buy another one.
