This plant of Phal. lamelligera was purchased a few years ago during one of the Garden Festivals at Hort Park. It came from Joseph Wu and has proven to be a good buy because it is very free flowering and the patches of cinnamon colored pattern are deep and bold.
The front portion of this Phal. Valentinii plant rotted away a few months ago so i decided to let the plant consolidate its resources and divert them to the creation of side shoots. I do this by cutting off the tips of the flower spikes so the plant would not be burdened by the creation of flowers. The plant however, has a mind of its own and decided to produce a side spray from an old flower spike. I think i will leave it alone.
