Blooming phals: not so complex hybrids!

These I got not so long ago and in the time Ive had them, many have spiked and bloomed, with many more to come!

This one above I'm not sure if I was given the correct plant! Still pretty though :)

This above one is a NOID I got from trader joes a while ago. It sent out another spike. I just LOVE this orchid. Slight yet pure perfumey sweet scent in the morning, those thin rings, the pinkness at the center and of course those peloric petals!

You can expect this plants blooms:

And a phal coringiana!

Thanks for viewing! :)

I have that Trader Joe's NOID too! And I love it as well. Waiting patiently for it to spike this year....

The one in question (Chienlung Happy Girl) looks a lot like "Happy Eagle", so IMO it could be correct. Also, If those are from Peter, I've always had good luck/accuracy with IDs for his phals.

Pretty blooms. I wish I had better luck growing phals. I have one of peter's that I'm nursing back to health, also a speciosa C1 cross.

Wow! I do see trader joes distributing lots of plants of the same hybrids. I wish I could get an id!

ill just assume that tag is correct but yes, I do we how it would be correct. I didn't get it too long ago so I might contact the seller just to ask him if they were grown from seed

I am so happy with these blooms! There as so many as well! :D

when I got this phal from Peter lin's eBay store, it had a single flower, which looks like the one pictured last. The 2 bottom sepals colored red. Then soon after it sent out a bud with all 3 sepals red like the majority of the blooms pictured, so I noted that it had unstable coloring of sepals. New discovery: most have all 3 sepals colored and even more exciting: one has a petal with coloring, not as solid! Guess it's coming from the speciosia! This is why I love to grow seed grown hybrids (especially compots) They are just so interesting!
