Oh my... It`s simply gorgeous!! I had never seen this before. I thought keikis grew off the main stem. I had no idea they also grew from spikes! Everyday I learn something new on this forum.

OMG!!!!! This is one of the most vigorous plants I have EVER seen! :O :O :O :O :O I looked this up on the IOR, and this was registered by Bettencourt in 1998 as Phal. Patricia Lillian. You should leave those keikis on, let the mother produce more spikes and keikis, and then get it judged when it is in full bloom! I am sure you will floor the judges! That plant is amazing, and I can't wait to see it in full bloom!

After reading this thread I just did a thorough check of my Phal. equestris for any keikis... not a one  I do have 2 spikes one of them an old one that keeps popping out new side branches and new blooms... so maybe it will give me a keiki too sooner or later

At least you are on the right side of the pond 
I'll ask about shipping to Spain, and I'll let you know.

Beautiful Val! Are you going to leave the Keikies on? to make a 'monster plant'?Look forward to seeing more photos when all those buds will be open!

Yes, Nenella, I do plan to leave those 5 keikis on for as long as the mother plant will be able to hold them - hopefully for a very long time. I would love to make it a specimen.
