Very nice, Peter! One of mine is also in bloom now but yours has a better flower shape. It's a pretty easy species.

If you don't have one (or several) you should get one! My experience is that thailandica is really easy to grow. Mine, like Peter's, are stick-mounted. When the plants are active I spray them twice a day. It doesn't take long for their roots to pretty much cover the stick, and the tiny Phal blooms are awesome. |

I LOVE this! So small, with pretty little white flowers with a pop of color! I might consider getting this if it has a scent...  |

Sadly, thailandica isn't fragrant. Just awesome.

I have wanted this little one for awhile now and just seem to forget about it until I see it posted again. They are so tiny! I'm not much of a Phal grower but I do have a parishii and a lobbii, cute too. My parishii has a spike so I will soon see some tiny flowers.
Thanks for sharing Peter!

Mine is fragrant in the morning only. Cannot really put a finger on the scent, but it does smells nice. |

Yes. I suspect this species is scented like lobbii and parishii. Smaller flower usually need scent to attract pollinator.

Wow. I'll check mine in the morning. I'd hoped it might be, but I've not noticed anything.
