It's a miracle!!!
There is no tag on this phal but I'm sure the lady I got it from just lost it as I didn't see many (if any) NOIDS in her collection.
When I got it, there were just 2 scraggly little roots and it was in sorry shape. It's been a few months now, in aliflor and a clear pot and a lots of TLC...and this is what I found today!!!

Wow, Sue what a great feeling when you bring um' back and they share in that by showing you .. wtg 
Dang the scale is weighing down on a home, the condo might be short lived...you are producing a wonder collection for yourself most definitely the tropical climate of the outdoors, seems the indoor growers might be at a disadvantage, I have 3 in bloom and one on its way... shucks...need more bloomers....

That's what it's all about! Otherwise, these things are just "cut flowers"! Congrats.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

TLC = Tender Loving Care 
The spike is now about 8 inches tall...still going strong 
I decided to take another pic or two. This spike is growing almost horizontally! I've staked it at the bottom and I'm wondering if I shouldn't gently persuade the rest of it to grow vertically...it's hard with not knowing exactly what plant I'm dealing with.
The first 2 pictures are of the plant pictured above.
The rest are of two other plants on the same rack also in spike (I found them this week!)...One is a Phal (formerly Dtps) Leopard Prince and the other is another tagless wonder
