Dying Phal. Lea Marie Salazar

There is not much to say, the pictures will tell it all:







One of those black spots from the last picture appeared on the newest leaf on the crease when it was still unfolded, small and growing. The leaf broke and started to blacken by the edge. I cut black stuff off but the edge became black again. I was cutting that leaf until there was nothing left to cut and the black stuff went inside.

I have no idea what those black patches are. I rubbed them with alcohol, sprinkled with cinnamon with no effect. They don't seem to get larger rapidly, if leaf didn't break, plant would probably still be ok, although with damaged leaves.

Now it is somewhat isolated and I am not throwing it away because of all the money I spent on it - there is a spike, maybe it will grow a keiki.

Phalaenopsis Lea Marie Salazar 'Tying Shin'

This phal hybrid has a long name - Phal. Lea Marie Salazar 'Tying Shin'.
The leaves have a bit of damage, probably from shipping. There is some strange yellowish patch on the left oldest leaf, I hope it is just from the sun and not something serious.



There are some good roots and a spike.



Hope it will bloom some day. Flowers should be dark purplish red and fragrant.
