Default Bloomed just in time for Christmas

I already had one Phal in bloom on my mantle piece which I posted pictures of in November and is now in full bloom.

But suddenly this second Phal opened 3 blooms out of the 6 buds that have been developing for months, all within 24 hours of each other... and just in time for Christmas too.

Strangly this one opened first and is the highest of the 3. Unfortunately they are all a bit twisted because I moved the Phal at the wrong time as they developed... but they are still really pretty for Christmas.

I had one of those (just before the hail storm two years ago). It is quite pretty. I got out of phals (except for a few) right after my big collection got hail stormed!
