S&H Pink Phalaenopsis NOID

[Becky15349]

Hey all!

I just thought I'd share some pics of my pink NOID phal that put up a pretty spike recently...all 4 blooms are open today, its quite nice!

This phal was "rescued" from a grocery store in New York City about 9 months ago(rescued as in, I didn't need anymore plants, but this one needed a home so badly!!) and repotted immediately into S&H media. It was blooming at the time I bought it, so at least it didn't wait a year to bloom again She also won 2nd place at our orchid society party/meeting last sunday...I think it was because only one bloom was open at the time, and maybe bc of the fact that I (rather unprofessionally) wrapped the pot in christmas paper and put a bit bow on it, LOL... No one really said anything about it though! I thought for sure that the judges would stick up their nose at it...

This guy sits in a southern window, which is filtered slightly by my window screens...but other than that, its proven to be a tough phal!!

Enjoy!
