    Default Phal schilleriana

    While looking over my Phal schilleriana, I noticed something curious about one of the flowers. Well, unusual to me. On closer inspection, I found several flowers like this one and many more with a single lip...maybe not uncommon but thought somebody might like to see this....

    That is really cool! I wonder what makes it do that? Is it the fertilizers or are other factors involved?

    Lol. That is strange. It is just 'stuck on' there. How oddly unique.

    Cheers,

    How appropriate for Valentine's Day - a Phal with room for couples to pollinate side by side!
