Wonder how long she will flower for. You will have to report back. Now that’s pretty and would be hard to resist even at full price. Wonder how long she will flower for.

Once I went bushwalking with a friend who was passionate and knowledgable about orchids. We ended not walking far, but finding tiny gems in the wild. My efforts at tending tame orchids has not been successful. Good luck with this one Easy. I do love those delicate orchids.

Seems like it to me, anyway. I remember seeing a production of 'Aida' as a kid - quite something with all the real horses on stage!

What a beauty and the form is quite different from straight Phals. Lots of other genetic material in there, a very good thing! There are promising buds too, what a wonderful way to have color during the winter months. We depend on the orchids for that here as well. :-) Frances Hi EG, the breeder’s work certainly is showing in this flower! What a beauty and the form is quite different from straight Phals.

And it would bloom until it reaches the maximum number of flowers it can give? That's GREAT! I hope they would be in full bloom in time for the holiday season :) I love the color!
