I got this one as a freebie when I ordered my Phal equestris 'Orange' sometime last year...two of the 6 buds opened overnight and I am in love!

She's in a 6 inch pot which is set inside an 8 inch pot for stability...I'm bringing her to our Tampa Orchid Club show today

I REALLY like this little guy, Sue. I got a tiny one this summer, so it will be a while before mine blooms.

I know why you like this so much! They last forever! Think I might have found something you don't have a lot of??

Gorgeous, Sue! This is my favorite form of the species.

I do love it

Wait till you see the two Phal species I picked up today at the show!

I'll post them a little later

Susanne, expect it to bloom so long that you will tire or looking at it. I think mine started blooming in May and the spikes continued to elongate and then they decided to branch and continue blooming. I think I am going to have to cut them though because the plant is looking a little spent.
