    LOVELY! That is an incredible flower- the variation in petals, the tiny fuzzy little lip! šŸ˜ I donā€™t have a single polychilos type phalaenopsis. Do you find that they take different care than standard phals? Do they like higher temps or more light?

      No I treat it just like I treat all my phalenopsis. I have about 9. All but three are your colourful grocery store variety. If anything perhaps a few degrees cooler at night (we turn down our heat at night.) But I guess all of them get that.

      Oh and it is slightly fragrant. šŸ˜Š

    I love these! I didnā€™t realize they were fragrant. What do they smell like?

    Faintly sweet and floral. Thereā€™s only the two blooms

      Am I seeing another flower spike in the background?

      Good catch! I really should wear my glasses.

    šŸ˜€ Thereā€™s actually 5 spikes. All going out horizontally ( so weird)

      Thatā€™s incredible. This is such a fabulous orchid. (*Goes straight to wish list and adds*)

      The flowers are also larger than I expected on a speciosa. Sheā€™s a beauty.

      Is this a sequential bloomer? Or are the spikes new?

    It is called a sequential bloomer. But Iā€™ll have to do some more investigating. It didnā€™t do too well in shipping and Iā€™ve spent time with this orchid getting her healthy again. I think I read somewhere their blooms can all be different but I may be wrong. Iā€™m just chuffed that itā€™s healthy enough to produce blooms that are so pretty and interesting šŸ˜„
