Just wanted to post a couple quick pictures of my Phals in bloom and give an update on my orchids. Right now I have three Phals; one's a NOID Pink (flowers in the picture below), one's a Sogo Yukidian "V3" (the only one not in bloom), and the last is my newest orchid which is Taida Salu "Sunset". The Sogo Yukidian isn't blooming because it is recovering from major root loss. I was overwatering all my orchids before and I overcompensated with this one and ended up killing most of the root by underwatering. Everything is going great though now. They are all growing new roots and leaves almost constantly. If any of you remember my post on my first Cattleyas I not longer have either. One lost some leaves and was on its way out so I got rid of it. The other, not wanting it to die, I gave to my grandmother to try who has a super green thumb and recently was introduced to orchids with a bright green Phal from my aunt. She's had it for a year (the Phal not the Cattleya) and it looks great. A lot better then my first orchid did. Are any of your plants in bloom this time of year?
