Phaleonopsis that was Dehydrated is Blooming

[Edwin Reffell]

One of the Phaleonopsis I found dehydrated in the recycling room is now blooming. Enclosed are pictures of it when I found it and now in flower so you can see the difference. The one that is flowering now is the one with the largish leaf halfway up the spike. I thought it was a keiki so I cut it off above the leaf instead of at the base. It also developed a new spike from the base. There are now 7 opened white flowers and 2 buds altogether. I am thrilled.

Awesome save!

Nice save!! Just goes to show, Phals (or others) recover *alot* easier from being under-watered, than they do from being over-watered, & having their roots all rotted off!
