| Claude,
|
| Phals are funny creatures. I've had first bloom seedlings with only a
| single flower or two. Others have a nice spray of 4-8 flowers.
|
| Usually the ones that bloom when still very small have fewer flowers.
| (Duh!)
|
| It may take several years before you know the full potential of the
plant.
| Now is the time to decide whether the flower has the qualities that make
| it
| worthwhile to grow it out to an adult specimen. If the flower is not a
| desirable color or has flaws that ruin the display then cut your loss
and
| get another seedling. You have to ask yourself whether a full spray of
a
| dozen or so these blossoms would make a plant worthy of display.
|
| Good growing,
| Gene

| Hello everyone!
|
| A simple question!
|
| I have a phal who`s blooming for the first time. I have noticed that
the
| spike is quite short ( about 8inch ) and only two flower buds.
|
| Is the spike will grow longer with age? Am I going to have more
flowers
| in
| the future?
|
| Thanks
|
