Two New Blooms

Good morning Phal friends! I have exciting news from this past week. Last week we got to see two flowers bloom. Well guess what! Two new flowers bloomed this week, too. 

 I woke up on Monday, March 17, and found that the third bud had opened during the night. When I found it, it was partially opened. When I checked on it later at 1:34 pm, you can see it had opened more. The next morning, it had fully opened.

 On March 21, 2014, I noticed the 4th bud had just a very slight slit. I went back to it a little more than 2 hours later, and it had significantly opened more. I'm happy I caught it during this phase. The last two buds had this phase in the middle of the night.

Later that day at 4:07 pm, the Phal flower looked like a small cup. The next morning, it had opened completely, or at least mostly completely. This flower was in a weird angle against the wall, so yes I did shift the plant. 

 This brings us to today, March 23, 2014. In the photo above, you can see that the remaining 4 buds are maturing, as they are lightening in color. I hope they fatten up a bit. But judging from the 4th bud that bloomed, the last 4 buds may be smaller and give smaller flowers. 

I did the unthinkable, and moved my Phal to an entirely different location. I wanted to show you all what the flowers look like against a dark back drop since the flowers are white. I think they're beautiful. :)

 And of course, the plant in its entirety. :)

I really need to get a dark back drop for these flowers now.

Until next week!
