I have one that looks just like this! Also a grocery store purchase! The blooms seem to last a really long time on this one! I love it!

I have the same one! Excuse the quick photo. I love how the petals look like they are made of sugar. Nom nom!

OMG... yours has a million blooms on it! That's lovely!
Here's mine when I got it. It's dropped two of the blooms it had, put out another one and it's giving me another bud. All while growing a new leaf and putting out a little nub that I can't tell if it's a spike, or a root yet, because it's so small. I love mini phals!

Ya, these little guys seem really vigorous! Mine has three buds that are going to open. It had a second spike that was broken off, but something seems to be trying to grow from it. I wish I knew what this phal is! |

Mine is a just add ice orchid. I remember someone mentioning that they cultivate their own hybrids and won't tell anyone what they do to make it work.
So far, I've had really good luck with these plants, especially the minis. I have four of the just add ice mini phals (I could not pass any of them up!) and all of them are putting out new roots and new leaves for me.

My first Phal is a just add ice and it seems extremely hardy despite all I've done to it. I have my first spike since the original when I got it. Can't wait to see it in bloom again. I got it almost one year ago (a couple weeks into November).
Don't water with ice though. Mine is happier on just Luke warm water and some fertilizer.
