Wow, this Phal is just amazing
I just noticed a new spike on a Phal, which wouldn't be anything unusual,
except ... This Phal (Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure' AM/AOS) was bought at a Safeway grocery store on 9/19/2005 in flower on two spikes. Up until very recently both spikes continued to be in bloom, but now only one of them has two flowers left after more than a year of uninterrupted blooming season. This phal is in a transparent pot, so I can tell that it's root system looks good; furthermore it has nine healthy leaves including one fairly new one -- so it is a healthy plant. During this one year that I have had it (and that it has been in bloom), it has needed to be watered only 12 times, so roughly once a month watering -- that's about as low maintenance as it gets, right? And now this Phal has a new spike just starting. It's current flowers are not going to last much longer, so it will not be in bloom without any break, but still. Wow! Does anyone else here have a Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope? Is it in general a hybrid that has an exceedingly long lasting blooming season? or is that a trait that is specific to individual plants?

Claude,
How long would your Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope flower for usually? Joanna "Claude" wrote in message ... Hello Joanna! I also have a Phal Baldan`s kaleidoscope and it was a reliable bloomer.....

I have this as well. It's incredibly hardy. It nearly got fried once, but
after I put it in a basket with some spag it came roaring back. Blooms last a long, long time. Diana "Claude" wrote in message ... Hello again! The longest was about 9 months !

Does it look like this?
http://home.comcast.net/~katkom01/or.../IMG_2750.html I think this is a Baldan's , but it was one of many with the tags laying on the ground at HD. One had the Baldan tag in the pot This one has blooming for about 6 months now. Seems as one drops off another bud starts at the tip. "J Fortuna" wrote in message news:lRETg.1508$3T2.921@trnddc06...

Bruce,
Yes, that's either a Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope or one that looks very similar to it. Joanna "Bruce Musgrove" wrote in message ...
