Hi all. As I am not really experienced orchid grower, just past a
beginner's level, I lurk here most of the time. I de-lurk today to ask
about a common white Phalenopsis.

The orchid formed a flower spike in late January this year. The 14 flowers
opened in sequence in February (while I was absent). I came home in March,
to find it still blooming. In early June, when the flowers were falling
off, a side flower spike formed on the January spike, and it commenced
blooming with 8 flowers. Half the way through August, ANOTHER side flower
spike formed on the January spike, and as the flowers from the August
spike dried up, this new spike blooms with 9 huge, gorgeous flowers. At
the same time a new leaf is growing. Everything is looking super-healthy.
My question: is this normal? I had this phal blooming every 7 to 8 months,
and had healthy leaf growth, but never like this, all at once and keeps
blooming for 9 months now. Any insight?

Happy but confused - Maggie's Mom.

OH my gosh.... what are you feeding it? :-))
