This was a "save" from a big box store for $1 and it was amazingly healthy so I took it home.
This year, it decided to bloom from an old spike. It turned out special!
Enjoy!

Thanks BD!

I lovely these mini-phals! And yours has such gorgeous colors!
Bravo .. Alex well done nice mini phal.

Hi Alex, I have a few like your mini, it produce's keikis and becomes quite mounded. The name tag on my
original plant reads Phal. Sogo Gotris 'Flora Ark', nice little plant. Hank.......
Thanks everyone and Hank for the "possible" name for my orchid!
I guess the people in the big box stores did not know what is a 'spike' and 'root', so it was on the sale rack!

I don't think a lot of those folks in those stores know much about ANY of the plants they are in charge of. They just go around and dump water on stuff once in a while and call it good! Nice rescue.....can't be $1
I know, once I saw a person spray water on the orchids!
I bet the phallies did not like water in their "crowns"...
