I attach two photos for comparison. Both orchids are in the same mix and have 6 leaves each.The second 'regular' Phal. is spiking just about a month after the old spike dropped its flowers.
I hope it helps.
What should I look for in identifying a mini if they are not tagged? I mean just from the appearence. As you already know I try to get those which are dilapidated and about to be discarded. And such orchids rarely have any tags intact.
I am going to drop by a few garden centres today

.
Thanks.
