Those are really nice flowers. Any chance for a photo of the whole plant ? Some shots of the plant. Like I said, the functioning plant now is the basal keiki that the original put out when it was on it's last legs. Another few weeks and I think the last original plant leaf will yellow up and fall off. I really enjoy the look of above surface roots, so always encourage them when repotting and mist them often to keep them viable. Enjoy!

Thanks! It took me a while to find my rhythm with orchids, but I'm starting to get the hang of them and results have been good. It's amazing how fast a basal keiki grows with an established system of roots. This one has flowered twice and put out 4 leaves since January/February. This phal has been getting a ton of light this year and the flowers are the best it's ever produced. REALLY vibrant colours and exceptionally white. Unfortunately one of the flowers got a few dirt speckles on it when I was repotting some cacti and it's a bit stained now. Oh well! I'm going to start photographing my other orchids (none in bloom at the moment) and post some pictures soon.

Nice pictures and your plant looks nice and robust . The addiction is most aggressive when you have good success like yourself.
good growing

Really nice flowers. I see it gets a lot of sun by the colour of the leaves, I'd back off a little esp. mid-day, just sayin from experience. Looks great!
