Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy'
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.

Tindo, this would be the entire plant, doesn't realy show very much (rather like trying to pick out the individual trees in a forest).
