Just bought this last week for USD$15
Not a good shot.

Phal cornu-cervi var. flava

Good enough shot for me. Love mannii's and cornu-cervi's, as they are just different. Mervin, is the flower as oblong as it appears? Sepals look more elongated than some I've seen (or the petals shorter...). Love it, nice work as always!

Very nice flava!

Hello Jarad,
Thank you for your kind comments and yes, the flower is as it is in the pic.

We don't get to see the flava var. very often here in Singapore therefore when I saw it hanging in a local nursey, I didn't waste time !

I have one of these and though it's growing, it isnt thriving. Mine also seems quite small. The leaves are maybe 2 to 3 inches long, but thick and sturdy, light green in color. Any recommendation on getting more out of this plant?

It's grown as a warm phal, on the higher side of light for phals in sh. I even have it living on a seed mat for warmth. It grows in a glass box too....with a small fan for ventilation and to keep the humidity up. It seems happy but not enough to bloom I suppose. Maybe it's still too young.
