Jane's Phal. violaceae

[Heather]

If you've seen this already please don't feel obliged to comment.
I was just going through photos and Jane and I were talking about this earlier today. The photo made me miss it a little.

Jane - you said you were growing this in S/H? I just recently sold one to Barbara that I had been growing in S/H for about 6 mos. and it was doing well. How is yours doing?

Sorry, Heather I just saw this thread.The plant is growing very well.I have a nice big leaf that has developed since getting it dwarfing the under leaves & now another is starting.Maybe next year a spike????:drool:

I'm not big on phal's but I do have this one and I hope it blooms as nice as yours

Very nice!! The one you sent me, Heather, is also growing a new leaf. I found the start of a spike on my Phal. violacea (red), and she sits on that window shelf; so I rearranged the orchids on the shelves in front of my west-facing window to try and maximize the amount of natural sunlight they receive... Hopefully, that will help my other warm-loving phals to spike, too! Barb

It is a lovely fruity scent. I don't think so, but I've heard people say it reminds them of Froot Loops.
