Orchid with red blooms - finally!
I bought this noid orchid in June with 2 spikes. I am guessing it may be a kagawara, but not so sure. I was very excited at that time for it would be my first orchid with red blooms. So excited, I hung it in one of the branches of the tree we have in our garden. But a week after, an unfortunate incident happened, I just found out that the spike with buds all fully open was missing, later I was told by our neighbor that she saw a little girl in our neighborhood carrying a little basket with red flowers in it!!!! L I was saddened by that incident but was quite relieved knowing that there is still one spike to compensate for that lost. I hoped that the other emerging spike would give me many buds. And few days later, another mishap happened, the buds that formed on the other spike turned yellow and eventually all fell off. Grrrrrr.. It was very disappointing.
Two months later, it delighted me. It produced two spikes in no time!!! Yey!!!! The blooms are actually red, but it appeared darker pink in the photo. My N97 phone didn’t capture the real color.. Anyway so here it is, folks. Maybe someone can id it. Also, should I be concerned about what is going on with the leaves on the bottom part of the plant? If you will look closely, you will see the black spots/streaks that appeared on the leaves.. Thanks!!!
