Smile It Finally bloomed for me.

I had to wait almost 2 years to see this Phal bloom. Due to me not knowing how to repot an orchid. I messed up repotting this orchid it was the first one I ever tried to repot. Well I put it in a clay pot and did not know that it would dry out so fast in it.

So the leaves turned yellow and all but one fell off. I thought it was done but I changed how I water it and I did repot it a second time but this time the right way taking out all old media.

It took almost 2 years to bloom for me. I forgot what it looked like. It's a hardy little orchid.

When I first got it I only had maybe 4 flowers. This time I have 2 spikes and all together 11 blooms.

Pretty!
Is it fragrant?

I used to have something that looked just like that with nice fragrance during the midday.
It was Phal. Sogo Gotris 'Flora Ark'

Thanks guys. I have not had a chance to smell it during the day due to work. In the am and night there is no scent at all

I have another real mystery phal in spike . I bought it as a rescue from petCo for $2 not in bloom. It's so much fun to grow mystery flowers I think.

Aw, I was hoping someone would / could chime in on possible IDs. My neighbor gave me a phal, and the flower looks very similar to yours.

Somewhat reminds me of Phalaenopsis equestris 'Sanguinelli' or Phal. Sogo Gotris.
