Dtps. Sogo Vivien... what a little temptress you are!

[Jennyfleur]

Hey everyone I hope you're all enjoying the weekend.

Some of you may have read that, in my order from Schwerter a couple of weeks/ 10 days ago, the spike on my Sogo Vivien had broken off in transit. Anyways, I put the broken bit in an egg-cup with some water and three of the buds have opened slightly I don't know if they will open fully (if they do, I'll post pics, of course ), but it does give me a hint of how pretty they are and now I can't wait to coax another spike out!

The veined type flowers aren't usually my thing (none of my other phals are like this), but I thought this one, being a mini and having variegated leaves as well was quite a package, looks like I was right

Edit: and, just for my own amusement, I've done a flower close up so you can see the bright yellow/ orange and speckles a bit better (during which, I also cut out my horrible looking thumb - the nail of which broke yesterday! oh dear, vanity is such a horrible thing!)
