the phal tree
This is the third year of the strap-it-to-the-tree program. When someone gives me a phal or onc or I have another keiki ready to pot, I just tie it on with a chunk of moss and fish line. It's watered by a mist system twice a week. The roots quickly snake around the trunk. As I said in another thread, I may have to cut down the palm and take it with me if I want to move...lol. In the background is a pot of Minerva amaryllis on its second year. The 3 bulbs from a big box last year are 9" across and now have offsets that also have buds...should have a total of 30+ blossoms from this pot!
Also pictured in the background is the pot of 8 white phals and the c. aggregatum in its full glory. Boy I love this time of year!
