    Default Bc. Makai

    the tag to mine is half gone, and what remains says blc mai, but researching online this name seems to fit, there seems to be 2 different types and I would guess this is 'Louise'. It cost $3, and I'm enjoying it more than some other orchids that have cost me 10 times that. Open to any suggestions or corrections on name.Name:  blc mak (Copy).jpg

    Very pretty! I do believe yours is Bc. Maikai 'Louise'. I have the same orchid. Mine is in bloom now also and looks identical to yours. You'll find they grow very fast once they're established.
