Hvala Ante.
Your phal will bloom in mid autumn if you give him enough fetilizer and plenty of indirect light.

Aerides houlletiana x sib

In this pic only half the buds are open. It was absolutely stunning when they all opened.
And the smell is the most delicious thing you have ever smelled in your life.

nice picture Jared
I'm trying to upload a power point presentation of the 2009 Taiwan orchid show but i think that format isn't excepted so all try and change that so you all can see it was spectacular this year

Also thees are not Orchids but i thought the Brussels begonia display was nice so here are some pictures of that

Here are a couple from the Smithsonian Exihibit Orchids through Darwins Eyes celebrating his 200th bday from earlier this year. Sorry pics from my phone so not great quality. was an amazing exhibit though.

snc · 07-30-2009, 09:47 AM

the white ones were about 6" if I remember correctly

My mind is trying to convince me to move to a more temperate climate or buy a bigger house, "What To Do, What To Do" I guess there are worse addictions, now I just have to convince myself when winter comes and all must be moved indoors. That is one beautiful orchid Mediahound!!!!!!

Dalmatiansoap · 08-24-2009, 07:27 AM

Just repoted two phals I have found on discount in local nursery yesterday. Pruned all dry and rot roots added new supstrate and hope that I did it good. Fullish of me that didnt take any pix for comments and guid lines from you folks. Wish me luck with them and if they go well maybe my first lady will let me go for few more naners

Beautiful, I love the color!!!

Dalmatiansoap · 02-01-2010, 01:08 PM

Hey orchid lovers,
I have my first orchid fower from this morning:

Short info:
June 2009

And this morning:
January 2010

I feel just great, WOW!
Thank U all for helping me out with this one. There are many good people still arround here, U know!

Jack Daw · 02-01-2010, 01:19 PM

Cool Ante, but where will you sleep in like 1 year? Those plants and flowers will soon take over your place, they won't stay small like this forever. Also beware, orchid pollen can be dangerous for allergic people.

Bch Grl · 02-01-2010, 06:03 PM

Very Beautiful, Ante!!!!!

Patty in Wisc · 02-01-2010, 08:58 PM

Ante, you must be my good luck charm! I bought a phal in bloom 5 years ago and just got a flower to bloom few days ago w/ 6 more buds. Finally! It got flower buds before, but all fell off when small. Congrats to both of us LOL

Dalmatiansoap · 02-02-2010, 07:09 AM

For the both of us Patty

Patty in Wisc · 02-02-2010, 08:27 PM

2nd flower opened today - 5 more to go. I love to see flowers blooming in winter

I also have a amarylis ready to open

back at you

jack hagenaars · 02-02-2010, 09:22 PM

One of my favorite Phal orchids...Phal Spirit House 'Mars'..it is blooming right now...see my gallery...I have not figured out how to post pics on the threads yet???

Patty in Wisc · 02-02-2010, 10:32 PM

Jack, I clicked on the pic in your gallery to make it bigger, & under the pic are codes/links so I copied the 2nd one & I'll paste it here now to see what happens. One of the 3 should show the pic... her goes:

I don't have a gallery here- I keep mine in photobucket.
That's a beauty BTW. Almost looks like shiny plastic!
WOOHOO, it worked!

Patty in Wisc · 02-02-2010, 10:35 PM

That's funny cuz I don't know how to post a pic in the gallery here LOL.

damaclese · 02-03-2010, 09:22 AM

it's really nice to see and hear about every ones Phials doing so well i my self have 5 plants all in various stages of bloom

by the way Patty thats a lovely color i don't have any quite that shade of Pink

i Have a particularly lovely Purple one thats sending up a new stalk now it already has an old one thats also has buds swelling on it so this will be my first phial to have a double spike I'm told this is rare any one ever have that happen before

Ps i thought i would add that if your Phailnopsis arnt bloomin the best way to force them is in the fall when the night time temps are at 60 deg put them in a small bathroom open the window at night and close it in the morning do this for three weeks and i garinty they will throw a bloom spike
they need 60 at night and 80 in the day so if this bath gets sun it will be warm enough be sure not to exspose the plants to any direct sun light they only take 1500 cd light which is vary low full sunn can be 9000cd and higher

Patty in Wisc · 02-03-2010, 01:25 PM

Yes Pauly, it is rare to have 2 stems at same time. That pic is Jack Hagenaars pic that I posted here for him. Mine is a light purple w/ tiny specks on lower petals. It has been in a west facing window all winter & seems to like it there.
A little cold can shock a lot of plants to bloom. I let the sunroom get cold - like 40's back in Nov, & 5 of my citrus blossomed & now have baby fruits
