Some blooming species
I'm not sure if there will be many blooms to enjoy for the rest of the summer; most of my plants were toasted when I moved, then decimated by slugs, and now spider mites are taking on the remaining buds.
Hopefully some flowers will pull through, I'll update this thread as they mature.
Here's a Phal bellina f. coerulea:
And a Phal lowii.
The spike was broken and this flower was squished during transport but thankfully the remaining one develops normally:

very nice,
your coerulea actually looks exactly like mine when it flowers but mine was ravaged by mites, most likely worse than yours.
I don't blame them, the Bellina is delicious  |

Weeeell this bellina is probably going to die, it didn't like the heatwave very much.
Time to get the tissue culture equipment ready for emergency cloning.

40°C (104°F) ambient temp with full sun.
The problem is that the transport crates I used were dark blue plastic. I put them aside on the balcony to unload the car, and in the meantime the sun moved just enough to hit the boxes and melt their content. |

Ouch. If it wasn't too long the crown may survive. I've done that here.
