Phalaenopsis bellina bllomed

Bellina bloomed again. I waited some time before taking a picture hoping that flower flattens up again, but it looks like this time it decided to stay cupped:



Fragrance fills the tank...

Phalaenopsis bellina II blooms

I discovered the spike on my bellina II back in July and now first flower opened up :



This year there is more color in the middle. Higher temps and humidity in the orchid tank maybe?





It has beautiful leaves too:

Phal. bellina II

New spike start was hiding under the leaf and I didn't even notice it for a while. Phalaenopsis bellina II decided to rebloom for me.



I like the flowers on this plant, it was blooming last summer for a while opening buds one after the other. Hope spike doesn't stop growing.

My blooming phals

I took my blooming phals outside to make a group picture yesterday. Here they are - Phal. Vio Vio, Lyndon Equator Jewel, Brother Gelblienosa and bellina II.



Phalaenopsis Vio Vio already totally lost first bloom, second bloom is wilted on the picture and there actually another bud is growing under the third flower.
It is amazing how long the blooms last on the Phal. Lyndon Equator Jewel.



Too bad they loose the color with age and older flowers look like there were bleached.



My favorite of all four of them is Phal. bellina II. It is fully opened now and smells incredible:

Phalaenopsis bellina II started to open the bloom yesterday, but I had enough discipline to wait until today, so the flower opens up completely. Here it is:



I like the flower a lot. Now, I am not an expert and have no clue about standards of the bellina flowers and honestly don't care much, just like this one. There is an apple-green band around the edge of the petals, looks very neat.



The fragrance is pleasant too.

I was going to post it as a bud update but then realized that this plant was never entered here. So, here is an introduction of yet one more bellina.
Not sure if bud will survive because I had to repot it today due to severe root rot, the yellow bottom leaf doesn't look good either.
Hope the bud will stay.
