Phals will generally be shaped with a 1 and a 2-2-2.5-0.4-0.4-0.4 shape. A phalaenopsis orchid is not commonly used. The multiple phals differs from species and may lead to an orchid that may not be in appearance. The phals are basically conventional trees that do not have a trunk that is very tidy. Columns of petals with flowers between them are called phals, too. Phals grow from a ring of buds on the outside of the leaves. The flower spike comes from between these leaves. The flowers on phals can be any color, including white, pink, yellow, striped or splotched.
