The orchid is very healthy and there will be more blooms. I was actually more amused than disappointed. It was a first blooming and, you know, the orchid seemed to be showing off.

I have three didieri (one is far off from blooming size but is adorable) as well as a Angraecum magdalenae and Angraecum sesquipidale. These last two have some growing to do, yet, before they are blooming-sized but I really love the form of the plants. The blooms are a wonderful bonus. Some people buy palms, I buy angraecums.
