Another Orchid!!!

Another Orchid!!! (Orchid)

Sorry, but once again I'm really pleased with this photo & wanted to share it.
As it opens the upper & dorsal petals have the same green tinge that the lower petals have, but within a few hours they develope the gentle pink blush as seen in this photo.
I'm rather proud of the performance of this one - it reflowered mid January & was in bloom up until three weeks ago. Then this spike had its first flower open yesterday. Plus another side spike coming off of an earlier spike too.

It is rather lovely Jacque.
I'd quite like it to rest after this next flush as I fancy mounting it.

Thank you Bernieh - it's so understated.
I'm really bad to it in as much as that on a sunny day I move onto the windowsill for an hour or so just to see it at its best.

Doesn't look like it's complaining about it's treatment, Mushy. The delicate simplicity of this orchid is what makes it such a beauty.
