Wink New Mini Phal. Riverbend x Zuma Beach

Everyone just recieved my bid from e-bay and Baldan Orchids . Its Species Riverbend x Zuma Beach large in spike blooming. It arrived in good condition with healthy looking roots . The flower spike is very fragile looking and the flowers are oh so small.
Take a look at the

Its already in the Orchidarium getting acquainted with the other 'chids'.

Oh Boy!!!!

It looks great and super healthy. Yours looks more blue than mine. Mine has dark purple blooms with white picotee!

Yours is so lovely! It's a great one to add to your orchidarium!

Question

Hi gmdiaz, did you bid on this orchid on e-bay? I know the color is a bit different looking at it versus the . But your description is totally different????

Can you post a of yours? We can compare colors that way. It doesn't sound like the same orchid

Gwen they do look alike. I think when I took the photo I took it while it was in the orchidarium. But the color is identical. Did you just recieve yours? It seems like weeks since I bid on mine. I had been checking the mailbox everyday which normally I don't do as it is not close to the house. I have to drive to the mailbox so I pick up mail every other day or so.

Yours looks good too I am really liking the mini's since I am limited in space .

I bought my back in October 2007. . .this is it's first bloom.

Mine had a rough start. . .just now really have a good growing space for it. And it's taking off with lots of growth and more buds developing.

I LOVE the mini size of it!!!!!

P.S. I have to drive a mile to my mailbox, so I have all my orchid goodies delivered to work. he he he

Mine is right there in my avatar
That photo is a little washed out so the blooms are a bit darker ..
I love the picotee edge also and the lip
