I was checkin out my purple phal that I though was a verbid when I noticed that one was "odd". After a while of an off feeling I began to study it and finally noticed that one of my blooms had partially fused at the bottom sepals, then on another I noticed that they had COMPLETELY fused!! It looks like an angel...
Then I noticed that both are COMPLETELY (again..hehe) devoid of lips!!!!! They have the column and all, but no lips!
If I am correct, doesn't this essentially defy the definition of an orchid? ...save for the seeds...
Should I try to preserve these abominations? If so, how? I'm thinkin' Hairspray, so that they can retain their 3-d impact. Any ideas?
This orchid is doing better than it has for YEARS, if not ever before. When I first saw it it only got 3 blooms total, now it has three branches on it's spike. I'm soo happy! : )))) It now has four open and over 20 buds!
...I accidentally knocked it over when taking pics... I caught it tho, so hopefully it'll be okay, but I'm still mad it happened...
I'll try to get pics on here asap, maybe later tonight even. Lets hope!
Thanks for readin
