2024 Phalaenopsis

[Djthomp28]

Thanks to the influences of forum members, I have acquired several Phals over the last few years. Several of them are throwing our their first spikes:

Dragon Star:




Purple Canary:



Dou-dii Jadeite 'OK' AM/AOS x Miro Sun:


Orchidkonnection Red Sun:

Love them all but particularly Purple Canary. You must be growing these inside, yes? My greenhouse is too cold for these guys although I still have a few that have managed to stay alive under my care.

Thanks, Bob. Yes, I grow these inside and under lights. They experience lows of about 60. When things get too chilly or when they are seedlings, I use a seedling heating mat to keep the roots a touch warmer than the room.

And another one: Phalaenopsis Mituo Gigan Fantasy - that leaf

Phalaenopsis Meir’s Prince which is Phalaenopsis (Mituo Prince ‘OK Orange’ x March Moon)

Phalaenopsis Zheng Min Phantom

Phalaenopsis Blue Ridge Lava is a little wild with displaying its flowers

I like the hypnotic effect of that fuchsia center...mesmerizing!
