My "ever blooming" Phalaenopsis

looks wonderful

It's very willing Yorkshire!

Its gorgeous Meanie.

Thanks 6d!

Your welcome Meanie :o))

Meanie:

Wow! That's beautiful! It's amazing it blooms all year.

Thanks Delonix! It needs a rest soon surely.....

Meanie there are Orchids that do bloom continually so don't worry there, this must be one of them.

Sixpence:

Typically, Phalaenopsis is not one that's ever blooming. Epidendrum hybrids are the only ones that I know of that bloom continuously throughout the year (here anyway).

This is certainly my longest blooming orchid 6d!!
Delonix - I have gone the other way with my latest addition. It's a single flower Paphiopedilum, like the one in the link below........

Meanie:

That's a beautiful orchid.

Just got to wait for it to flower now!
Maybe this time next year.

Meanie:

I hope it blooms well for you! :>)

I've seen Paphiopedilum in the Botanical Building in Balboa Park. There's many hundreds of orchids in there...it was originally build for thousands of orchids.
