my indoor garden

This is one of my Phalaenopsis species, Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi. I bought it in December of 2007. This is one very good plant--very strong and healthy. It is growing roots, its second leaf of the season, and a second spike. On top of that, it is developing new buds on the first spike and holding all the bloomed flowers all at once.

This is definitely one specimen in which I can expect more and more future blooms in the years to come as it gets more and more mature. These flowers are representative of its first blooms.

The last time this orchid bloomed for me was mid-June of 2007. This time it blessed me with eight flowers. The scented blooms remind me of coconut. The flowers only lasted 3-weeks this year. I wish it was longer, but I'm very happy that I can rebloom it. I'll definitely be waiting for next year's bloom.

Another fairly easy to grow Phalaenopsis species. This is the first blooming of this plant and it has 6 spent flowers, holding two more and growing a new bud at the moment. I'm hoping for about 10 flowers before the spike gives up.
