Yes, it worked.

Ha...and the phal ...;) really beautiful. Good choice.:)

That is just gorgeous! I would love to find one like that! :)

Just to give you an update - the rescue phal is doing really well now, lots of strong roots and putting up a new flower spike too now!

I was so encouraged, I bought another £3 rescue from the same store last weekend. I think because they neglect them so terribly, they get to the really poorly, about-to-be-thrown-out stage so quickly that the plant still has quite a lot of vigour in it, which is maybe why they seem to recover so fast.

Anyway, here is the latest - I've taken a bit more of a risk with this one as it only had a couple of good roots, but it has such an unusual flower, I couldn't resist - love the lime green and pale pink combo!

Pretty!

Some great finds! Some of my favorite plants are from big box stores. 👍
