The first phalaenopsis of the season
 

Just sharing my first phalaenopsis of the season. Enjoy it as I do! Sometimes I think that growing orchids is like growing jewels :) .

I share the same idea. Every hour one takes a look to see how the bud is developing!! :D

THANKS!!! by the way this plant was a birthday gift from an office friend. I call it "The friendship orchid". Now she is not working at the office, she decided to take care of her husband and children, but I invite her to see her gift every time it flowered, and indeed to share life.:)
