Phal with two spikes

I have a NOID Phal growing one spike from the base, and one is also growing from the spike from last year. Wow! My phals are going to town right now, and I can't wait for the blooms!

one of my NOID's grew a spike one year, bloomed, finished, the top couple inches of the spike turned brown, and i cut off the brown part. it then branched, growing a side spike with about 7 flowers, *and* started a new spike from the base, which grew about a dozen flowers, at the same time. made for quite a show. (i've got a picture of it above my computer. )

gotta love those NOID's.

Excellent! Do share a pic of the blooms when they are mostly or all out! This is certainly a fun time of year for phal growers!
