Blooming Phal - twice! :D - Orchid Board

Twilight Orchid · #1 02-10-2008, 01:30 PM

This is a phal I picked up at Zehers - it was huge when I purchased it - with tonnes of blooms..more came out on it when I brought it home....and lasted for months......well, when the blooms wilted, died and fell off, more shoots came out and it rebloomed again! I've never had that happen before

So then I thought, no way will there be many blooms, but I was wrong again! There are nearly as many blooms on it now, as when it first bloomed...I hope you enjoy, as I am really excited about it

I forgot to add that the first three photos are the original blooms, and the last three are when it bloomed again

Looks like my old favorite white NOID Phal that seccumbed to the hail storm two years ago. Wouldn't stop blooming - new side spikes and new major spikes along with a two plant mass all in a 8" pot. You'll probably enjoy lots of blooms into the years ahead.

LOL I guess so!! Im not sure what it is, but I think it's just the glorious floor to ceiling windows it's in where it gets the morning light....Ive been trying to give my plants Reiki too, as well as lots of love

Powerful stuff! kiki
