Phal. George Leather (George Vazquez x Leather)

[Pete]

Got this one from Big Leaf Orchids in late March 2010. It came in flower, which died shortly after I received the orchid. I assumed that the relocation shock caused the the flower to drop quickly.

I was a little bummed as I really did not get to appreciate the flower and thought that I would have to wait until next year before I could enjoy the flower. Lo and behold, the spike continued to grow (guess the orchid likes my culture) and began pushing-out a bud about a month ago. I was surprised that it took so long for the bud to fully-develop, but what do I know!


Shouldn't have to wait long now....
