Two more new bloomers.....

#1 is an LC from Sunset Valley Orchids that I got at my club meeting and the other is a noid phal I've had for years. I usually cut the old spikes off at the base because I want the plant to gather energy to grow new leaves and roots for better flower production next time. This one pushed new side spikes even before the old spike was finished so I kept it. Not only did it throw buds on the old side spikes but two new spikes are coming. This is an old rescue that is actually a keiki from the old plant stem which rotted off at the base. I just love the red flower. And it is fragrant. Very for a phal. Any guesses as to which phal species it is is welcome. Opps! Forgot to post the pics.

Really lovely...reminds me of a fiery sunset! I wish I knew more about Phals to be able to guess at its parentage

Love that Phal! What a great color.

BTW - how do you make your plant tags? I've given up on plastic.

These tags are industrial equipment tags. I bought them at Graingers Industrial Supply. They are on the internet. Very big company. They are under tags or labels. After years of indelible markers and other types of tags, I gave up and went with these. They last years and are inexpensive. I also use them as blockers to get new growing errant pbulbs to grow up instead of horizontally. I have pics of how I use them. As for the phal, from the color and shape of the flower I think it is a species. It is also very fragrant as far as phals go. The flowers last around 4-6 months. Thanks for looking.

I know Graingers, they're great.

What do you use to mark the tags?
