Ohhh, wow. I LOVE it! So very cute, and from the Himalayas, too. I bid on one a few weeks ago, and it went way beyond my meager means... So I will enjoy yours vicariously! :-)

Here's the first one of the big haul that opened (or has a spike as the others are all babies). It's just a bit smaller than a quarter but really cute and looks like it's smiling. It looks like it has a bit of a snake tongue at the top of the lip.
It's also called Phal. parishii var. lobbii and grows in the Eastern Himalayas at 1200-1500 ft. This dwarf species is more tolerant of higher light levels than most other phal species and can take up to 1800 footcandles. They can flower more than once a year but usually during the spring so mine must be confused.

Awesome job! I have read that these are hard to even keep alive!
How precious! Good job.
Wow, that little one is cute!
Cheers,

It's a cutie! I am learning to appreciate the smaller ones....they can be so delicate. Thanks for the pics...

The second flower opened a few days ago. I figured I'd wait until it fully opened. My wife is freaked out by them since they have some kind of sneaky looking smiley face (like the Joker).
They are too cute!! Mine blasted the spike it had been working on for the last two months...
Very pretty!
mine's in spike & I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get to see the flowers..
NICE! I have 3 or 4 spikes on mine this year with the buds currently swelling. I keep mine mounted.
