this plant is flowering for the second time for me, i think. i also believe i got this one from dwayne lowder at dowery orchids in virginia. he has excellent phal and a few other species. this plant should have a lot more than two flowers, but it can take quite bright light and needs some more (including more fertilizer). i have it potted in a clear aircone-ish pot in aliflor. i read that it likes to have heavy water and sharp drainage, so i guessed that it would like non-S/H pellet culture and it has worked well. phal floresensis likes this treatment as well.
i tried pollinating one flower with phal maculata pollen (it failed) which I think would have been a great hybrid, and tried the other with phal braceana pollen (it is growing ). think this would be a great hybrid as well!
can't remember if it has a fragrance....
