A while ago I was showing you two of my miniature Phalaenopsis orchids that finally decided to bloom. You can check this post for more photos..
Soon after the next two started to slowly open. I waited a little longer to have more flowers to show and here they are :)
The first yellow one I got in supermarket together with a purple one. I did not put any tags on them... same story every time "I will remember". As if!
As soon as they dropped the flowers and I repotted them to new pots I had no idea which one is the yellow and which one is the purple.
Now I WILL put the tags with their colour. I am not sure if they have any registered name and I will not bother looking for it. Colour is enough.
Pretty yellow colour that caches some lime shades with some small spots and a peachy-orange lip. I like the shape of the flower too.. its more round than the other ones.
The flower spike grew a little weird. Instead of going up, it started to grow sideways. I could try to train it, but they are very thin and brittle and I could have easily break it. So I just left it be. I don't quite mind, but now the flowers are a bit heavy and the pot tilts easily and needs to lean against something not to fall.
The second one is the one I had no idea what it will be. I got it as a very small plant with a not "it is very pretty" :). That's all. I was almost sure it was a keiki from a regular size plant and didn't expect it to bloom anytime soon. Until it grows to a large size of course, which now I know will never happen.
I noticed a small spike coming up while I was watering it and it was clear it is a miniature! I had no idea... just as I had no idea what the flowers will look like.
Here they are!
Quite nice, right? Though I probably wouldn't purchase it myself.
Furry inspector agrees with me.
And now something I have been waiting for - a group shot! They stand all together and look just lovely. Hopefully next year the purple one will join them.
There is still some buds to open. And knowing how long lassting the flowers are, I am gonna enjoy the show for a good couple of weeks :)
