RECOVERY !
 
This Phal made a complete recovery or almost.
it fell 8 stories down and stayed out in the elements for 10 days before I came back from out of town to discover it was missing.

It was found in a bush at the foot of my apartment, all dried up and broken.

Thought it will not make it but after a about 4 months, a keki formed and further 3 months or so it Flowered !!!!!

Excellent! I love a success story!

Beautiful bloom Mervin! So sad that it fell and got broken, it was a lovely plant. But it looks like the keiki it has produced is even bigger than the original and just as lovely! Great save!!

Wow. Orchids really are survivors. Well done!

This proves that Phalaenopsis orchids are tenacious. They can withstand a lot of stress and still survive and bloom lovely as ever....
