Phal lowii

[cb977]

I got this one at last year's Tampa Orchid Club show/sale on Halloween. It was $10 because the spike with one bloom on it was broken...I took it anyway

It lost two of it's three leaves and started spiking a few weeks ago. The spike has three buds, one of which has bloomed

It's very hard to get a good photo of this plant! The spike is so delicate, the slightest breeze sets it in motion
I'm also kind of paranoid about breaking the spike when I bring it to the TOC meeting on Tuesday. I think I'll hold this one in my hands for the ride down there

Ross, if you see this, the pot to the left of the full-plant pic is the one you gave me when you visited
It's looking very happy

One of my favourites...but mine hasn't bloomed yet.
Could you tell me how do you keep it?
Great job!!!

Awesome!
I think the one that I bought 2 years ago has lost it's final leaf
I suck at growing phals...

Beautiful and seems to be a neat mini. Please let us know how big it gets when it matures.

This should be the mature size. It's a deciduous plant but has hung on to it's last leaf for dear life
