2 phals in bloom now..
The first one:
A 'bellina' which did not turn out to be violacea but also did not turn out to be bellina... I bought it from a nurseryman who sort of specializes in species (amboinensis and bellina), primary hybrid and novelty phals. What do you think it is?
Amboinensis, lueddemanniana or a hybrid? Anyway, it is very nice so I'm keeping it. Luckily I did not pay a very nigh price for something else and got this instead..
The plant when it was in bud. I think the leaves are very rounded for amboinensis:
Second plant, Phal cornu-cervi:
One of my most favourite phals and definitely the easiest one to grow and flower. Likes being on the drier and brighter side compared to other phals. This is the 1st flower on the third spike.
