Default My Valentine's Day gift!
Hi All,
My wonderful guy decided to treat me to a new orchid for Valentine's Day. (Trust me, this is huge!) We went shopping last Saturday to a greenhouse that has lots of plants and several orchids, but not a huge variety. Very healthy plants, though. I waited a few days to post a pic of my new baby as she had just arrived and she was not looking to perky from the transit to Maine. She's looking much better every day and she is a beauty. She is a Phal. Yukidian x Phal. Cygnus. My pictures do not do her justice.
Also, my newest bloom is an Asctm. Mr. Del-Rei. I have more blooms coming, but three are open now, and I'm like a proud Momma and can't wait to post pics. Yeah, that's me! kiki

hi Terri,
It's about 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide. Not sure what you mean by spurred. She is a cute little orchid. She is not in any medium, but is in a 2" pot inside a larger pot. Happy as can be. Thanks for looking.
kiki

Kiki, spurs are the little tails that develop from the back of the flower like on our Aer. It just looks like one of the buds on that spike has a spur. Could just be the pic.
