Good GRACIOUS, Sonya! :love:

:blushing:
should look very nice when the buds on the second plant (the one with 4 spikes) start to open

what do you do that your plant is so happy!?!?

yeah!! please tell us!!

well - the plant with the 4 spikes, I broke the first spike it started while the spike was still quite small - it "compensated" by growing 3 spikes from the same leaf axis as the broken one, as well as one spike from another leaf axis. I think it's just determined to bloom, I guess ...

i wish mine was determined to bloom. or at the least determined to live!

Even too late I should reply to this. Because I love plants, trees and shrubbery . Oncidiums wont do this.
Lovely and excellent job. WR its thrilling.

aww ... I understand completely! I have had such a hard time with Phals until this one ...

thanks - I had never heard of a Phal doing this either, which is why my original post was asking if this was odd or what lol

Holy Crap Sonya!!!!!!! You are no longer allowed to call yourself a phal killer!!! That phal is GORGEOUS! If it makes a keiki I call dibbs :) Great growing!

Katie :)

haha - thanks Katie - well I still have a couple phals limping along without roots ... *sigh*

Should this produce any keikis, I'll let you know ;)

I had missed your pic update, It's really fabulous! Well done !
Can't wait to see more pics once all those spikes have flowers

Any updates?

Sorry for the poor photos - this has proven difficult to photograph for me - spikes going every which way, and about impossible to capture color of blooms ...

- The three spikes that emerged from the location of the broken spike are smaller than the others, and no branching as the others have. But, there seems to be some activity on some lower nodes, so perhaps will branch yet.

There have been lots of buds blasting - from the cold weather I guess. I try to remember to take it out of the window on cold nights, but I guess I am not doing a good job of that. I actually can't fit this plant on the sill any longer because of the spikes, but have it set on top of a container just next to the sill.

WhiteRabbit - Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a phal with so many spikes. Congratulations.

thats a gorgeous plant!!

Thanks David - there's actually two the same in one pot - one plant has 2 spikes, the other 4 - but even 4 on one plant seems crazy to me! It probably would have had 2 spikes, had I not broke one while it was small.

:blushing: thanks Bob

NP! thanks for sharing! i hope my phals will someday be this amazing

well - I wouldn't advise breaking spikes, but am pretty sure thats how I got so many ... ;)
