Default Phal. bellina

I honestly thought this flower was never going to open! It seemed like the bud was just going to stay a bud, tantilizing me and yet never quite giving me my reward. Then, yesterday, it started to open and today it is all there. It's the first bloom for this plant, and I'd say a nice effort on its part, too. The fragrance is, to my nose, nicer than any other orchid I've ever bloomed.

Natasha, my belief is that if an orchid will bloom for me, it'll bloom for anyone!

Yours has bloomed so early. I havn't seen any new spike on my violacea. You must be very happy.

Hello Jkofferdahl

I know how you feel because mine is also about to bloom for the fisrt time ever and it seems the bud is laughing at me since a couple of week, then today, I noticed the bud has changed position and it`s now quite big... I hope it`s gonna be soon... I can`t wait,,,
