Spathoglottis plicata

[cjm3fl]

I purchase one about a year ago from one of the local home improvement stores.
There were several dozen to pick from, most in bloom, but I grabbed one that wasn't. Didn't have a spike yet, either.

It lived...but little else.
In October I re-potted and divided it into two.
Putting 5 or 6 plants per pot.

Well they both TOOK OFF and within 2 weeks I noticed my first flower stalk. Soon there were several of them.

It was suppose to be the variety that is rosey pink. Maybe slightly two-tone but when the blooms open there was lots of yellow and hints of orange, along with bits of rosey-purple.

Here's a pic showing the ID card that was attached:



Here's what they looked like in January, clusters of blooms:


They died back a bit because of the cold (for here) weather but there's still new blooms.
Here's a recent single bloom:



This is presently my only "ground" orchid but I'm going to look for a few more.
