Phalaenopsis

worth waiting for Meanie

Good lord Yorkshire, that was quick!!
Thank you.

been power washing the patio and just come in and hey presto you appeared.

I'm still waiting for one of mine to rebloom Looks as if I'll have to wait at least another year :o(

Don't be so defeatist!
This one has been growing like crazy! It's a bit like a triffid now!

Thats a wonderful bloom.

Good things come to those who wait. (or so they say)
I have a feeling I'm not going to be seeing any flowers soon from the one I almost killed.

Thanks 6d!
Alexandra - I didn't try to straighten the flower spike up, that helps!!!!

LOL...made sure you didn't snap this one hey.

well - I think I bought my first orchid in UK in 2007... in spring.... from Homebase.... and still waiting and waiting and waiting for it to flower again....:-(

Crikey! It must have grown though......

well - not much.... but I guess it doesn't like north facing windows, had much too little pot for a long time... so to be honest I didn't provide lot of TLC, lol. Moved it onto west facing window couple minutes ago, noticed couple new root/flowerstems (which one to choose from? lol). So hopefully soon I will see those lovely flowers again, hehe...

A change of environment often gives them the kick up the ass that they need Kasy!

haha - well - I usually talk to my african violets - if you don't show me any flowers within 2-3 weeks - it is the end of our relationship! and guess what? - it always works, hehe...

A little harsh maybe.......
