Yes, it is realy amazing.
I have 3 from the nurser in April, they are 3 years old now, one of them has 4 pikes this year.
According to the nurser's statement,for the reason of extinction, the parent had been divided into parts later.

Thanks so much for sharing your technique Edward. I am what you call a "visual learner" and the step by step instruction is crystal clear. Makes me want to go out and mount something...lol. BTW your plants are awesome

Broad leaf, strong fragrance only in the morning.
I bought it from the east coast of Hwalin.
I like its leaves more than its flowers.

Hi Edward,
That is truly beautiful, both the leaves and the flowers.
I hope mine will eventually blossom.

P.S.
what does your by-line at the bottom of your posts translate to?

[edwardwang]

Narrow leaf, from TKB, but I don't know the exact location of TKB. Can somebody help me?
I got this from a big clump.
It took me a little bit time to grow new roots and leaves.

It is an old saying from Confucius.
" Orchid grows in a remote valley, its fragrance is spontaneous, not for anyone."
It implyed that a gentlman should cultivate his moral chareacter, but not for the appearance or to be a dissembler.
Chinese has growed orchids for a long long time.
In Chinese culture orchid means a gentleman.
My translation is too terrible, hope you can understand it.

Thanks Edward, yes, I got it, along with the implication.

This species seems not very popular, but few phals have stripes on leaves.
Mine is very easy to have basal keikis, so I decided to grow them together.

Beautiful leaves Edward, well worth having in a collection just for that. The flowers look a lot like P. amabilis.
