Now that the weather has turned cold, I'm focusing on indoor tasks. To the left is Phal. equestris "Sorea Firewings" that I bought bare rooted at a plant sale from Sorea Nursery (they had come over from the States to the UK). If it looks a little odd, it is. It's a peloric form. That means an irregular shaped flower that has mutated to a form more regular. Normally I don't like that much but I love the colour and with flowers about 1 1/4 inches on a 4 inch stem it's a very neat plant. I have a small collection of orchids on various windowsills that I'm still trying to get over the shock of their move a year ago, but there are now signs that some at least are settling in.

Oh, self that thing the moment it comes back into bloom. It would be interesting to see if it breeds true to peloria. Actually I would love to see a cross between an albino equestris peloric and this. The 2nd generation recessives would be soooooo cool!
Has this thing thrown any keikis yet?
