Phal. lobbii - Orchid Board

This little gem is back in bloom, now its second, and looking very good. There is a second spike opposite the one now blooming, though it only has a couple of buds on it. Because the flower is about the size of a dime, my camera struggles to take its picture.

Lovely flower.

How big is the plant and is it difficult to grow?

The leaf span is perhaps 3.5 - 4 inches, maybe slightly larger. It's a Phal, grows like a Phal, and blooms like a Phal, so it's not overly difficult to grow at all.

Easy to grow...if you can grow phals, which I apparently can't, as I've killed 2 of these and a slew of others phals...Look out Sue my Phal collection just might be coming your way!
