Phal. Liu's Cute Angel wants to bloom again. I just recently cut off the old spike that flowered in the spring, it got dry and brown.
And now there is a new spike, on the other side:
I was going to repot this phal to change moss that is not quite fresh, but now it probably is better to wait for this new spike to finish whatever it will be doing (hopefully flower).
Bl. Morning Glory = B.nodosa x L.purpurata. It came as a seedling from Clouds in fall 2011.
The very first flower opened today:
Looking at the many pictures on the web I was expecting white petals with pink lip, but mine came up all pink. I figure, since there are many varieties of L.purpurata, maybe my Glory was created with pink L.purpurata.
I didn't detect any fragrance yet, but I think it only appears at certain time of the day...
