Okay, Gang. Yesterday we set up a display in Melbourne, FL (Brevard County
O/S Show). Frank came with me and was surprised to see a grower (don't know
him) come in with a slew of blooming Phal clones. Surprised because freshly
bloomed Phals are not the norm here at this time of year.

Frank wanted to know if the plants would bloom at this time every year. I
told him it was more likely that the grower induced blooming sized plants to
throw out spikes by adjusting their greenhouse environment. I also said
that in our conditions, warm and outside, where they get enough diurnal
range in late fall/early winter to spike for winter/spring blooms, the
plants would most likely revert to a Florida norm for blooming season, and
might even be stressed somewhat by the environmental change.

He says he believes me, but will believe me more once he reads opinions from
y'all.

What say you? (Hey, who loves ya?)
