Phal mannii 'black'
Another plant that I'm quite happy to see blooming again! It's had a rough time in the past year. It had a bad case of mealies and then rot on the leaves. This is one of the plants that I experimented CO2 gassing on last december (if any of you remember that thread). It killed the mealies, and the plant has been slowing recovering and made a tiny little spike. A far cry from it's former glory, but I'm happy to still have the plant! 
This dark form of Phal mannii is very common in Europe.
