This shot is a few weeks old, but it shows how this plant's flowers fade over time. The lighter bloom opened in early January (It finally fell off on april 12th)

Hey Chris, what kind of Phal. is that? It looks similiar to my P.venosa although a bit more yellow.

Wow Sarah, I had to go back to page 26 to find this! I don't know if there is venosa in the lineage.

O.K. so this plant now resides in the brightest window in the house and a year later it’s still up to its old tricks.

Thanks Chris, it kind of looks either like my venosa, or my amboinensis. Either of which are similiar, only one smells, the other doesnt.

Diane,

Nice pictures. How much light does the mini-Cat get and does it have a scent?

My ginger (told it was a ginger, dont know what type however) finally threw off a spike. Some of the buds however fell off before ever blooming.

Ill take a pic of the leaves later on but heres a blossom. It actually looks a little more violet than the pic shows. Beautiful shade of blue IMO.

Cheers,
Chris
