Hi all,
This is only my second post, so, hello!
I've gotten into orchids within the past few years, and when I say I've gotten into them, well... I've really gotten into them. Most of you probably understand.
Anyway, I've recently started going to orchid society meetings - awesome sales, interesting talks, friendly people, etc.
Every month, people bring their blooming orchids in for the show table.
I have a mini, fully peloric phalaenopsis that I got at a random gift shop in a subway station because I thought it was way cute. The thing is, it's doing AMAZINGLY. After the initial shock of coming home in the cold (after which it dropped all but one of its flowers), 6 months later, it's putting out new buds from its old spike, and is sending up not one, not two, but THREE additional new spikes!!
I would post pictures but I don't think I'm allowed yet.
Anyway, to get to the point, would I be frowned upon for bringing a peloric, no ID, phalaenopsis orchid to the display table? I'm not sure what the general consensus is on these orchids. Will I be committing a faux pas or breaking some unwritten rule, or will the enthusiastic blooming of the orchid cancel that out?
Thank you
Sandy
*edit* I've added some photos! The flower is actually quite faded, and was much yellower in its prime. You can see the buds forming on the old stalk. The third new stalk is too tiny to photograph and is hiding in a leaf crevice, so I didn't take a picture. I also forgot to mention that on top of all this, it's growing a leaf! Magical!
I also included a picture of my setup for good measure. It's in front of a window but it's still dark here.
Should I bring a peloric orchid to an orchid society meeting?
