Just a cute mini noid Phal

[JScott]

I got this at Walmart for like five dollars two or three years ago. It was growing in a tiny thimble sized pot and had four flowers on it. Since then, it has grown well and blooms every year and ended up being surprisingly nice for such a scrawny little thing from Walmart.

My friend Bruno in Brazil (who also grows orchids) was sick with dengue (I was kinda freaked out by it, but he didn't seem worried, but anyway lol) and I saw this plant at Walmart, and Bruno LOVES miniatures, and I thought he would really like it, but it was too bad that I couldn't buy it for him to cheer him up while he was sick, since I'm in Oklahoma, and then I thought, hey, I'll go ahead and buy it for him and send him a picture

He loves it, and we call it Little Bruno, since it doesn't have a name lol

If the photo is anywhere close to the true color, that is one sweet miniature.

What a great, dark, saturated purple!

Woah I like the white "outline" and the contrast it gives to the deep purple.

I'd say Bruno was well taken care of; there I said it.

Yes, that is pretty true to the actual color. It's quite stunning.

Haha yes he is. And thanks everyone! It's always fun to get such a nice plant from an unexpected place.
