    Default conjoined twins bloom on my phal

    Name: Resize of Rotation of DSC05798.JPG Views: 1170 Size: 27.6 KBHello
    I got an orchid as a present today (people realized I am an orchidnut so they give orchids as gifts)
    So, it has one unusual flower
    I wonder if it is an isolated accident or it will have similar blooms in the future too
    here is the photo- I call it conjoined twins bloom( one can see I am a doctor)

    My guess is that it is probably just a 1-time quirk, but only time will tell. Meantime, you can enjoy twice the beauty!

    Wow
    wery pretty
    in yours some of the petals seem to have fused
    mine has all the pettals, 10 to be exanctly
    I heve seen today in the shop other degrees of fusion
