Phallies in clear pots.

[Roy]

I put these pics in for info & discussion.
I was given this Phal. January last year as a Birthday present. Green algae was abundant in the pot around the roots. I put it in the black pot on day one. I hung it up with the Aerides.
Given the 3 mths nil attention it got starting 2 weeks after getting it, apart from water once a week & the heater blowing up mid to end of winter, this is how it appears now. The current spike opened early December 2012.
