    Default New Phal - Nice bloom shape.

    A beautiful Phal I wanted to share, I'm not much of a Phal collector but I had to take him home as I loved the shape of the blooms. I found him, of all places, at a grocery store.

    OOH!!! You've found yourself a peloric phal, and a beautiful one at that! I have a very similar one in art-shades...I love the graceful curvature of the petals on it! Some folks are really fond of pelorics...others don't like them so much, but I find them absolutely fascinating. BRAVO on a great acquisition!

    Pretty peloric phal. Sometimes you get lucky and get one like this that is so attractive.

    cheers,

    I haven't heard of peloric phals before! Shows how "green" i am! It certainly is gorgeous! Are they grown in the same conditions as an "ordinary" phal?!
