This is the first of my three Phal. (Kingidium) deliciosas to bloom. I had no idea that the flower would be so small! It's probably half the diameter of a dime. You can get an idea of the flower size from the plant's root next to the flower. Very cool.

This is the smallest of my three, Yvan. It's perhaps 4 inches in leaf span. My largest, which hasn't even initiated a spike yet, is about 6" in span. The third has just initiated a spike in the last few days.

Hey,
Beautiful little Phal. Thanks for sharing. This was one of my first orchids I purchased that didn't come from a grocery store. It was also my first orchid murder . Although I think I could handle it now, I am still a little afraid of the deliciosas.

Neat one. You know what they say about small packages.
