| Bargain Bin Phals in Sphag- UPDATE 5 months ago, I bought 2 phals planted in sphag for the first time. After some trial and error with the watering schedule, they both took off, growing several leaves and roots. When I bought them, they both had just finished flowering and I managed to bargain them down to $8 apiece! Here are some pics of one of them, which is now in full bloom. I guess that means it has bloomed twice in one year!      |

| Good looking plant! Wow. Have never seen anything like that for $8 around here. Most are significantly smaller and by the time they are done blooming (which is probably 90% sooner that is should be) the leaves are wilted and the entire plant is nearly gone. The other option I have noticed around here with spent orchids is that the stores just throw them in the garbage and turn in the hardware for credit - unfortunately they don't let anyone salvage them either.......Again - Yours looks great - good job!

Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius |
