    This refused to rebloom for a couple of years, and then last year I broke the flower spike!
    Rather made up for it this year though...............

      It has saved itself from being given to my neighbour when I move - it was that long reblooming that I had forgotten what it looked like!

      Part of the housemove includes getting rid of most of the noid Phals - this one has just gone to my neighbour.................

      It has been a good performer over the years, and always did well outdoors over the summer months. This is the first time in a while that it has bloomed this early.

        Thanks Scotkat. Unfortunately the Phals have mostly got to go in the house move.
