But the best "bug" to catch. It sure beats the flu that is

I can respond to #1. Kenneth Schubert is NEVER out of bloom. Once it starts
a stem can continue for 2 years or more while another stem starts and yet
another. The blue is beautiful. For #3, there's a bad violacea? They're all
great. But if you can get your hands on a real blue, like those originally
from Orchidview, you'll be short some real change.

This depends on one's conditions though and on the individual plant: the
only Phal that I have real trouble with is a phal violacea borneo (or phal
bellina), that I had gotten in low spike I think it was in May, bloomed only
for a week in August, and then flower blasted (or what ever you would call a
bud blast after the flowers open already).

The Kenneth Schubert that I have was in bloom for about 2 months (maybe a
bit less), and then wilted and the spike is yellow now. One possibility is
that it is still a young plant and will bloom longer in the years to come.
But it could also be that it was not satisfied enough with the conditions
(due to the leaf color, I suspect that it was used to much more light where
it came from before I got it). Also before I got the humidifier the humidity
here would sometimes be less than 30% -- most of my Phal hybrids did not
seem to mind, but I wondered whether the Kenneth Schubert and the violacea
might less tolerant of such variation from the optimal.

Compared to that all other Dtps and Phals that I got have bloomed much
longer. I am beginning to think that my conditions are a bit less suited to
phal violacea and its hybrids. I keep improving conditions though, so
hopefully it will be better next year. Got a new humidifier and the humidity
is now about 55% in my apartment, and even got to be above 60% after a
shower. :-)

Claude,

I hope you mean that you bought 'em all! Just like a good orchid junkie, my
friend.
