Someone told me when i showed them a couple of pictures of my Orchid, which i identified as a Phal, that it was a Phal-Dend..combo.Could someone explain how does it arrive with such a identification? Does it mean that it was grafted? I bought this plant in Lowes a few years ago, and although i do not have the tag anymore, I believe it did say Phal on it.Well, after 4 years or more I finally got 2 spikes...one eventually shriveled but the other one is strong and starting to bloom with what looks like an all white flower. If i am not mistaken, when i bought it, it was naturally in bloom and that is what attracted me to it, though i have nil skill with Orchids. This is my first one. I believe the bloom that came as my first rebloom was a beautiful colored one...not 100% sure, since i gave up on it a long time ago. I just kept it cause the leaves were solid and attractive as a foliage plant. Can an orchid change colors of blooms due to culture change? BTW, does an Orchid that is in bloom get fertilized anyway?
