My very first orchid
 

Its been a ten year journey and this one has been on a roll ever since i bought it. This one catapulted me into growing orchids in general starting when I was six. It has suffered through root rot and years of my neglect but has managed to pull through. It's been in that 8 inch clay pot for almost four years now. Sorry if the pictures are a little blit blurry, there was wind that day.

What nice flowers! Looks very happy, too!

It's lovely! And it's great that you have your very first, still! :D

My dad gave me my first orchid and it was also my first rebloom ever. However, it suffered greatly being my first orchid and it bit the dust :(

Very nice! Keep at it!

Beautiful flowers! My first orchid is in a landfill. It's really my wife's first orchid - she received it as a gift from her sister. But I am the one that got addicted!

It's lovely...I like the flowers. All those lovely roots all over the place make my repotting fingers itch though, even though it looks happy as is.

It survived you. My first one is also not with us any longer.

Gorgeous!

You still have your first orchid after 10 years! Wow.
