Default Phals in Bloom again!

This is one of the two Home Depot phals from last winter. I was lucky to find very nice and healthy ones.

Flower count is slightly less than the first bloom, but I'm happy with what I have.

The other one (not pictured here) is about to open its first bud as well. It will be a white/pink candy stripe.

In the second picture, the spiking phal behind the white/red lip one is a pure white variety that had five flowers last winter. I'm excited to see how many buds I will see this year.

That's a pretty bloom. All of your plants look robust and well grown. Great job!

Very nice Noid! Some are really worth buying. Unfortunately I've somewhat neglected my Noids, so non of them are blooming this year. First thing I need to do is repot a bunch of them, they've nearly flopped out of their pots.

Default More pirctures...

The fourth bud began to open up today. It is very cold out and what a nice day to stay in and watch this beautiful orchid blossoms at home

This is probably my favorite phal.

I'm also posting pictures of the other home depot bought phal, which I bought along with this white/red lip one. It was my super lucky day that day.

This guy was all in bud last week and it began to open just a couple of days ago.
It is sitting in my bathroom. What a nice sight when I come home from work in the evening and walk into the bathroom!

The plant is much smaller compared to the regular phal and the flowers are bigger than mini phals but smaller than regular phals. I'd say medium sized phal.
It grewo 4 leaves this summer, so I was expecting it would send up two spikes, but no. well, well, well...

It had 16 flowers last winter, but it now has half the count. I still like it, 8 is plenty enough for me.

Enjoy~

Good growing and congrats on the reblooms

Lowe's seems to always give away orchids if you just talk to the department manager. I worked there for about 2 months and got both of my large ones for about $2.

Plus, my store just started to carry catts which is REALLY tempting.

Love the white one for sure.
