Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy'

[Ironwood]

Finally blooming..........This orchid I bought from Home Depot over three years ago, so long ago I could not remember what it looked like as it has not bloomed since and had no tag. It continued to grow like a weed but would not bloom. It was because of this plant that I decided I needed a new growing area for plants requiring more light. So this is proof the extra light did the trick. When I repotted it a few months ago I found a tag curled up in the bottom of the pot, Bllra. Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy' ----could this be the right tag----hummm. Well it was the right tag and that now means I have two of them (both in bloom at this time). This one now has about 30 pseudobulbs, (old and new), many of which are just coming into spike.
