Oh, this is going to be nice this year.
Not a great photo of the spike, but that's a main spike with five laterals and, as of this time, about 30 buds. Flower photo is from a previous blooming. I can't wait for this one! I'll post more when it blooms.
The cross is Phal, Candlelit Dreams 'Delightful'.

Is this a Baldan's Kaleidescope cousin? My BK 'Golden Treasure' likes to bloom like crazy too.
It looks like you're going to have a beautiful display of blooms very soon!

Top shelf of a four shelf rack in my living-room. It's on the east end of the rack, about 2' in from a south facing window shaded by a shear curtain on very sunny days. Also on sunny days, I have an overhead fan that I run in reverse (sucks up and spreads the air along the ceiling and walls) for air circulation. The largest leaves are about 14 x 4.5" and it's growing in a 10" shallow pot in coarse bark.
Hope that answers your questions. |

That is exciting!!!
I have a mini phal that is blooming for the third time, and I'm excited that it has two side spikes for the first time! |
