Lots more spikes, but smaller flowers? Female
Default Lots more spikes, but smaller flowers?

One of my phals has put up double branching spikes this time-(last year it put up one non branching spike) and it's just beginning to bloom. I have noticed that the size of the flowers are smaller than they were the last flowering. This phal also has a basal keiki, and appears super healthy. I'm curious as to why the flowers would be smaller? One thought is that because the plant is putting so much energy into 2 multi-branched spikes, and is supporting a basal keiki as well, this could be the cause? Don't get me wrong-I'm NOT complaining! It's a gorgeous plant..
