    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?

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