After 4 years, a bloom!

I've been babying this orchid ever since it was given to me by a friend, after the blooms fell off and she didn't want to deal with it anymore. She was going to throw it away but I just couldn't stand the idea of trashing a live thing. :'(

That was 4 years ago....actually 4 1/2. Ever since then I've been dutifully watering it, misting the leaves and generally babying it, and though it put out a couple of new leaves, it just would NOT flower.

After the move to this house, a new location by a sunnier window and some orchid food it has finally rewarded me with some stunning flowers! I couldn't be happier!

 

Nice bloom, after flowering for 6 months mine have gone to sleep. I hope their nap is not that long.

Very pretty!! Well done!

 

3 cheers for that beautiful orchid bloom Ronni!!

 

Now that is gorgeous! Great job on not only reviving it, but getting it to flourish.

 

Amazing white flowers. It is quite nice gift by your friend. I hope so, may friends also give me such gifts.

 

Worth the wait!

 

Is this one that smells good as well as being so beautiful?

 

You'd think it would have a knockout fragrance, huh? But nope. Unfortunately no smell at all.

 

Well with a face like that, it doesn't need it! Thanks!

 

beautiful flower! finally it bloom, aha! it's worth for waiting 4 years.
