Phal. Equalacea coerulea bloom

Cute little bloom opened today on Phal. Equalacea coerulea:



Plant had black spot at the base and I thought it will die soon, but it seems that black does not progress further, so plant was able to bloom.
I like the flower

Phalaenopsis Equalacea

One more new spike came out in my tank.
Phalaenopsis Equalacea:



I am worried about this plant because of the black rot traces at the base. I put some peroxide there regularly and it seems to hold it without spreading, but sure it doesn't look great.
Now waiting for blooms....

Blooming continues

I am amused by the phals that span their blooming time for several months producing sequential buds on the same spikes.
Here is Phalaenopsis Vio Vio. I checked my log - it opened first bloom back in June. Since then - it always has a flower on. When one wilts - new bud is just ready to open. It is on fourth bloom now and fifth bud is growing:




I also like how heavy textured the flower is and of course the fragrance.



Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi 'red' stays in bloom since beginning of May. At first it had one flower on each spike at the time. Now it is producing clusters of blooms. I wonder if it is something that all cornu-cervis do, or I just got lucky with this particular plant:



It is also somewhow hard to photograph as a whole plant. Picture always comes out either blurry or wrongly focused or with too much shine.



Equalacea coerulea actually just started blooming recently, it now has two blooms opened and third bud growing. I like how crisp and delicate the flowers are:



The whole plant is extremely cute:

Phal. Equalacea coerulea

Actually the label states:
Phal. violacea var. coerulea x equestris var. coerulea.
It fully opened today.



I am not sure if it would be fragrant, at least I didn't detect any smell today yet.

Phalaenopsis Equalacea coerulea

Since last update blue Equalacea grew some nice roots, abandoned old spike start and produced totally new one:



Can't wait to see the bloom.

Phalaenopsis Equalacea (coerulea)

This is Phalaenopsis violacea coerulea x Phalaenopsis equestris coerulea (that's what was written on the label), so I guess it makes it Phal. Equalacea coerulea, right?




It has incredibly shiny new leaves(enhanced by the stupid camera flash) and start of the little spike:



Can't wait for the blooms(if they ever appear).
