All are nice, Ursula, but the Darwinara Charm 'Blue Bird' is outstanding.

Yes, I think this one has the nicest color of all the Darwinaras. I will post it when all buds are open.

Nice splash!!
Ursula, the neos are also in north light and cool in winter. Now they are in good light and warm. The glass ceiling seems to make a huge difference for you. Many of my plants don't flower until they grow big.

The Splash is very showy, Bree. About the noid? Sorry, no clue here.

Kathy, in my case the North-wall is for a big part of the day in the sun and I think that helps tremendously.
I would picture Neofinetias during the Winter in their habitat pretty much in full sun, since the deciduous trees they grow on no longer provide any shade.

Do Phals have a bloom schedule or time of year? It seems like alot of mine are ending bloom.

Janice,
that would be normal for these type of Phals. They will add a leaf ( or 2?) over the Summer. Comes Fall, the cooler temperatures should initiate spike formation again.

It's not quite fully open but I couldn't wait. This is Vanda Nathaya Beauty 'Pink'. It reminds me of a Robert's Delight in pink.
