Late last week, my Psychopsis 'Mariposa' bloomed its first flower. Last night, it bloomed its second one. I'm overjoyed because when I first got this plant in February at the POE, I broke the first and tallest spike when I entered my car. Imagine how I felt... JUST bought a beautiful, soon-to-bloom Psychopsis orchid and breaking the spike almost immediately after purchase.
To top it off, the media it was in was so broken down, it was mostly just soil. So I had to repot it sometime in March. Fast forward about 5~ months, it FINALLY started to form a replacement spike/bud from the spike I broke.
6 months have passed and I can now enjoy its blooms!
And if you asked me, it looks like the flowers are overjoyed too. Call me crazy, but doesn't it look like it has its arms up in the air with a HUGE smile? Or is my imagination making me see things?
