Pretty in Pink

Oh those Phalaenopsis! I have two pink hybrids in bloom right now. The one with the red center is the first orchid I ever bought. When I got her home, the roots were not in good condition, and it almost looked like this would be my first dead orchid. However, she survived my neophyte care, and has gone on to do very well. This is the first year I've gotten a branched spike, so there are two rows of flowers at once.

The Amboinensis is just starting to spike. We should have some flowers there in a month or two.
