Question about Phal equestris & its hybrids
Do Phal equestris & its hybrids tend to bloom more sequentially or in a "burst" Just curious. I have a mini-phal which I expect has equestris in it. Was hoping for a more full display but it seems to bud up and flower only a few flowers at a time more like what I expect of a Doritis.

My equestris is continually in bloom. Gin sent it to me over two years ago and the little guy is always blooming and making babies. I am not sure what happens when it is hybridized though.
Cheers, BD

Sequential
Phal. equestris pushes out quite a few buds and then opens them sequentially along the spike. Mine just has one flower left to go before all are open. (This is the one in the 2 1/2" pot that I posted earlier last month with just a few flowers open.)

The flowers seem to last quite a while, though, so most of them are open at the same time. At least on my 2 spike plant.

Mine open pretty much at the same time , I have one that is a cross it does the same . When the spikes on the equestris get long and scraggly after a long bloom time I cut them off because the flowers get sparce . Gin
