First bloom in probably 3 years for each of these plants. Both grew fantastically when I first got them, and then burned out to just a few roots and nub growths.
Years ago I showed this Bulbo tricanaliferum with 13 open blooms.
I got this Phal fuscata many years ago from AA orchids. I had it in a basket for a few successful bloomings with quite a few flowers. I strapped the last root and leaf to this mount, and its finally come back enough to give me at least this one flower. What is weird is that slugs find the new growth of this Phal species (I have two) tastier than any other plant in my GH. It's been a real challenge to beat the slugs to the new growth.
