This is one of the Phaleonopsis which I found dehydrated in the recycling room. It is the one with the largish leaf half way up the stem.Since I thought it was a keiki I cut the spike off above it instead of at the base which I normally do. On the spike I cut off there are 3 blooms. A new spike developed and it has 4 open blooms and at least 2 large buds. Apologies for the quality of the images. I am afraid my degree of photographic skill is zero.

Its 3 stems are mostly dark green. 2 of them have 2 very small leaves growing at the nodes of both stems. I found these 2 Phaleonopsis when I took newspapers to the recycling room this evening. I have watered them and hope they will revive soon. The leaves are green and the many roots are too, though I see 3 that are more yellow in colour and one of those looks shrivelled. Should I take them all out and remove the yellow and shrivelled ones? The pictures are not very good.
