Default Phal surprise

My wonderful husband got home today and with a big smile on his face he handed me this little cutie - he wanted to surprise me. I literally had tears in my eyes, I know, I know, it's a noID and whatnot, but it's such a cutie!
Leaf span is 16cm and the little sign says 'Love you'
I'm such a happy little addict right now!

I need to keep showing my BF these posts where lovely partners bring their loved ones orchids. Maybe he will get the hint lol what a wonderful gift! I think this one may be fragrant, you are one lucky woman. He sure knows how to pick them, I think I would shed a tear too if I was surprised with this one.

The I love you little gifts are the ones you will always remember because he did it out of love for you. Its not your birthday, anniversary or any other special day he remember. It the kind of gift every women loves. I sure miss them kind of gifts to, my late husband used to do that a few times a year.

Absolutely, it was such a surprise and just such a wonderful honest gift. He always says that we have too many orchids, and 'No more orchids this year' (even I said that) and we still get more when we go to shows or our orchid society, but this was something completely different.
With it he said that it is so I know how much he appreciates me - made my little heart melt completely! And I'm definitely not one for material gifts (for Christmas he gets a letter from me, for example).
All I can say, being married to your best friend and the person who knows you best has its perks!

I always secretly hoped for a little surprise like this, but not this year (I have been very naughty when it comes to orchid buying and being out of control....). And especially because I turn little psycho when we drive by a nursery, I always insist we go in - so it was so cute that he stopped there on his own, said 'it was on his way home anyways'
I definitely recommend inspiring your boyfriend - it's much better than getting a bottle of bubble bath! (though, if I think about it, there is nothing wrong with that either, but orchids always win, naturally )

Such a tiny cutsie! And I have been bothering him about how much I want a mini phal for AGES now, but every time we found one, I didn't really like the colours, so we never got one. And now this little guy! The photos aren't great (not much light in the storage room, aka my sewing room), but it has hints of pink (my THE MOST favourite colour) and those little freckles

Mandy - I forgot - the very first thing I did was stick my nose right in there (these tiny flowers make me feel like I have a giant nose!) and there was no scent, unfortunately. Maybe with time, or next year
