    Talking My parade of Phals begins...

    Well, here are the first four to open in a procession of Phals here at my house...
    The 1st is Phal. Sweet Memory 'Vasquez", 2nd Phal. Silbergrube, 3rd Phal. Echidna's Children, and 4th a NoID with a LOT of Phal aphrodite in it. All but the "Vasquez" are first blooms on the plant...

    All of them are very pretty. You are making me antzy to see my blooms. I have a lot of Phal spikes this year. They don't usually cooperate well for me.
    Keep those pictures coming.
    Thanks again,
    Shalene

    Nice shots, Jenn!

    They look very species. Are they principal hybrids?

    Thanks for the peek!

    Thanks All!

    Julie, the top one's pollen parent is violacea, the next one is a celebensis and equestris cross, the third has equestris as it's pollen parent, and the last is a NoID, but it sure looks like it has a lot of aphrodite in it to me.

    Steve, I can't wait to see your Sweet Memory...I have a "Sweet Memory" CY about to bloom too, they do smell great!
