You are look what I found!

Browsing through photo, this one looks like TK's orchid

My big lip Phal, she followed me home!


HD and L have beautiful phals!
Almost let this one follow me too! I thought this was the 'Brother Super Nova' but the lip color is different.



And this is another beauty:


A little pricey for $18.99 without a pot but knowing how long it takes to make this bloom from a seedling, it is well worth it!

Those are beautiful Gigi, I wish I could keep Phals alive.
This plant opens every year the day before St. Patricks day

I still have a few phals some I've had for years but they struggle winter time and recover this time. I keep promising that I will take care of them better this year!

It's awesome to have predictable blooming catts! I used to have a lot of them. Black rot killed my catts.

Just beautiful Lindsey!! I them both!!

Looking at the peloric Phals, there seems to be a lot of those on the market, just looking at the lip trying to be a petal. Here is the Phal Yu Pin Fireworks again, see upper left here

Phalaenopsis Fuller's Gold Stripes

Lucy, I think you got the Phal culture nailed down!! Pretty show!!

I am looking at the ruffled petals on the Fuller's Gold Stripes, this one looks peloric too. Amazing what the hybridizers come up with!!

Thanks! I was reading about pelagic orchids. Now I'll have to go through my phals and see what I think.

Here is a nice link about peloric Orchids

I got a new orchid... Cymbidium Lucky Gloria 'Fukunokami'

I looked it up, nice one!

I love reading papers. Found an interesting one on white Cymbidium!

Thanks Alex! I will spend some time with that.

Such beautiful orchid blooms.

Ursula, thanks for the link on peloric Orchids. I love learning something new every day.

Sad to see the last of my lovely Phaius opening. They've put on a magnificent show for about a month now, so that is impressive. Now, to see if I can manage to propagate them . . .

Those are beautiful Elaine! Sadly, mine had a very poor performance this year. I will try to repot it so it can grow better. I had tried propagating it before using the stem of the blooms. They sprouted but just died too. I will try again I have one bloom stalk to experiment but I will put it in a mini greenhouse this time.
