Species Phal from the Philippines (No ID)

Hi. This is my first post under this forum. This is my only phal. It's been around forever. White flowers are borne on long slender spikes that sway at the slightest breeze.

Very nice blooms. Hope someone can ID this.

Thanks Yew Sung. There are already several possible IDs from other members following your post. I don't know much about phals, and I've never had much interest in them. This one just happens to be in my garden because its kind has been with my family since my grandma's time. But I do find this one charming. I like it better than the more rounded forms of the modern hybrids.

Angel, I couldn't agree more!

It is LOVELY!

Thank you, Cathy. Due to its blooming habit where the spike just keeps getting longer and longer as more buds begin to form, the intermedia gives the impression that it is in bloom every day all year round.

That's true, mine is blooming since 4 years on old and new spikes. I cut the old spikes in 2011, they were almost 5 feet long and I had to roll them up !

P. amabilis perhaps? although the blooms of this i have seen are more full, there is surely variation from plant to plant. Or maybe a varient of P. sanderiana

Beautiful bloom. Would love see photos of the leaves and roots on a mature established phal.
