Phal season again! :)

The first one is Mount Lip (sib crossing).
That looks like a one gigantic spike, but there are three spikes.

Two old ones, that I cut a little bit each year (for past two years), and each time make lots of flowers from side spikes. This past fall, it added a third and brand new spike.

I always enjoy them from the front, then the other day I was looking at them from behind and noticed that the tip of all three spikes started growing again. yay!!!

Love this plant, but I wish it was a bit smaller.

The third shot is of three minis spiking. :)
I almost want to just pop them open. :lol:

The last one is reblooming "micro mini". It has more flowers than when I bought it, so I'm proud! it also branched but that branch is not bearing any buds.

I like the intense color and the white lining that accentuate the whole flower!
I wish I knew the name. sogo yelling coffee, pixie...could be anything, right? :biggrin:

Very nice. Would you explain what you mean by "cut a little bit each year"? Do you mean after it blooms for a second flowering? Thanks.

How did you get that phal mount lip to have 3 spikes? what fert do you use? is it an old plant?

Wow, that mount lip is gorgeous, and I like the white lining on that mini too.

Really lovely flowers on that first one. It looks stunning with those three spikes. Love the colours on the others too :)

The mini reminds me of Queen Beer.

That Mount Lip is pretty impressive. What's the flower count on it this year ?

A lovely reward for your good culture. I'm happy to see some of mine are also budding up. I'm partial to the mini phals mainly due to space restrictions.
