Cute little buds and gorgeous flowers. Good growing! I love it when people can grow species orchids in their windows! Thanks for posting pictures.

OMG! I have to have one of these now! It is sooo sooo beautiful!!! Love the color! Great growing, I also know how hard it is to grow species in a temperate climate, on the window-sill! But, I for one, do love a challenge! Lol

Btw, the foliage on yours is just exquisite! Seriously, seriously good growing! Just the foliage is beautiful! But add in the flowers...

Thank you! I give it a lot of light (East light), not to much water and in my new apartment the humidity is 50, 60 sometimes even over.

A little fertilizer and that's it!


I LOVE violet orchids and I do by almost this color from outside the country. Here, in Romania, only noids and many phals.

Wait until the plant is bigger. You can get 15 flowers or more on a spike.
