Howeara Lava Burst
I got this cute little orchid late September from an Italian vendor (Nardotto et Capello) with 2 spike nubbins starting to poke out, and now it's finally in bloom.  It was on my wishlist for a very long time and I'm so glad I finally got one, I love this cutie!!

If you need further convincing, it's a mini! You're sure to find space on a windowsill for it.

Thanks for the warning, I guess it'll either need a bigger mount, or maybe I should pot it while it's somewhat removable from the mount...

LOL, you enabler you!
I don't need much encouraging though, even if it's going to get bigger I still keep finding room for them. I am starting to find the windowleges getting a little cramped though now.
Hubby keeps joking that he daren't pick up his coffee because I'll see it as a free flat surface and stick another orchid on while he's not looking  |
