There are 112 flowers and 9 buds on two inflorescences on a moss covered tree fern mount.

This was one of my first purchases from Peter, also the first mount I was brave enough to grow, a year or two before I got the g/h when I still grew under lights. I think this is the third or fourth Phal from Peter I've gotten awarded. Needless to say, thanks Peter.

Congrats Brooke. You grew them well. Very happy for you. It wouldn't have gotten the same attention if it lives in my greenhouse.

OMG! :shock:
Brook, that's a fantastic growing! Congratulations! 8) 8) So, how long and larg is the biggest leaf of that Phal?
I love that species for giving such a wonderful display with many flowers opened at once. I hope mine will be like that one day, but first I have to stop make it wearing pods... :roll:

Brooke, this is just shear dynamite growing! Well worth the awards you got. How long have you had this from Peter? I'm still in awe of that picture. Well done, pat yourself on the back, as I can't reach it!

Wow.. :shock: That's some awesome flowers with a bit of Phal attached to them. Wonderful, beautiful and and simply stunning...

I've ordered one of these, but somehow I doubt mine will ever get as marvelous as this. I will, however, show it these pictures to inspire it. :D

Great growing! :clap:
