Excited about my new purchase

[monivik]

I'm just really excited about this, so I just want to share it.

First of all fortunately this Covid thing has been going down here for the past months and more and more things are starting to open up. So I was able to visit a local orchid nursery, not too far from where I live. Of course precautions had to be taken, one needs to be in good health and also I could only come with an appointment. So they keep the number of visitors down.

Anyway so I have a Paphiopedilum Pinocchio that I've had for years, it's grown and grown many times over. I split it into 4 pots. Turns out that the orchid nursery bought 3 of them. They told me they wouldn't buy just any type of orchid from a private person, but it had to be something they are interested in and it turns out they thought mine were in good condition. (I've still got one pot left at home, with several growths on it.) So they said they'd give me 5 euros for each, and I'd get that as a discount for anything I'd buy.

So I got three new orchids. The interesting thing is that by the time I was about to pay, the guy made a miscalculation. So he only charged me 10 euros. I did point it out, but he said... it's ok... you got lucky this time. I can't believe I got these 3 orchids for 10 euros in total!

So it's a Phalaenopsis Schilleriana, and the other one is Hieroglyphica, and the last one is a Paphiopedilum Callosum.

The Hieroglyphica has two flower stems... I'm so excited! Can't wait to see those flowers.

And the Paph also has a flower on the way.

The Schilleriana is growing a new leaf. Also regarding this one I was wondering, could it be that this is a young plant? I'm asking because it is just so small compared to my regular full grown Phalaenopsis. I'm adding a picture for comparison, where it's next to a regular one.

Anyway I'm assuming if it's young it will probably take a while before that one flowers. But it's got beautiful leaves.
