Phal. Brother Gelblienosa II

With all my phals moved into terrarium, I am seeing lots of root growth.
All the stalled or blackened roots are now activating growing points. Stems get little bumps all over the plants.

Now, this is pretty weird place to grow a root(notice one on the small left spike):



It is Phal. Brother Gelblienosa II who is confused so much that it started the root on its spike. This spike is not new, it had a flower last summer. I never saw the roots appearing on the spikes before...

Phalaenopsis Brother Gelblienosa II

More blooms have opened on Phal. Brother Gelblienosa II (venosa x Gelblieber):



Unfortunately second flower got squished by the first one so one petal came out deformed:



The third flower comes out fine, although on a very short spike. It seems a bit darker than two previous ones:



It is a delightful plant, I am glad I bought it.



There is actually one more bud growing on a third spike, hidden under the leaves. It was awkward to take a picture of:



I am not sure if it will bloom successfully considering such an unlucky position.

The other "brother" bloomed too.

Phal. Brother Gelblienosa II (venosa x Gelblieber) bloomed.



And the flower looks a lot different then the first Brother Gelblienosa(Gelblieber x venosa). How cool is that!



They do have same fragrance though.
I like them both.

Two Brother Gelblienosas and their buds.

Phal. Gelblieber x venosa has just one bud on one spike, but it is much ahead in development and I can already see the pattern on the petals:



Phal. venosa x Gelblieber has already two buds on one spike and activated second spike. I wish it would hurry up a bit, so I could see its blooms side by side with the above plant.

Phal. venosa x Gelblieber

Here is another Brother Gelblienosa, but this time - the other way around. I am not totally sure if the order of the names in the cross makes a difference in flower appearance. I hope so, because that's the reason I got both - Gelblieber x venosa and venosa x Gelblieber.




There are decent roots, shiny leaves and two spike starts. Although smaller spike is blackened at the tip, so I guess it doesn't really count, but hopefully the larger one is still good:



Would be cool if both Gelblienosas bloom together.
