    Smile My Rainbow Colored Phal

    I got this phal a few months ago and it was in bloom. Now, it's still blooming because the spike elongates, and a new bud forms each time an old flower dies. I wonder if this goes on forever...

    It has many of the colors in the rainbow...very colorful. The name is (probably) Phal. Brother Lancer. (I'm pretty sure that's the name, because it's been mislabeled. I looked at other people's photos and mine looks identical. Any ideas?)

    This is the first time posting pictures, so I hope it works.

    Sorry, it didn't work.
    I attached the file (it's JPEG and 492 kb). Is it too big or am I doing it wrong?

    It should work as long as you're uploading your file to a server from your computer.

    That worked, Lily! I see what you mean about the rainbow. Lovely lip on that one. I like phals, I just don't grow them well, however, my sickie one has a new root! YAY!

    That's beautiful, Lily! Nice work too, on the pic, and on keeping those blooms going for that long. Glad you posted the link to it!
