Beallara Marfitch "Howard's Dream" full bloom

[Butters mom]

Hello Orchid family!
One of my 1st posts was concerning a broken spike on my Beallara Marfitch and whether I could save the spike or not. Alas, that spike didn't make it, but the other spike thrived! I just wanted to share some of the pictures I've taken of this beautiful girl! I hope you all enjoy! Patience truly is the key in raising Orchids! 😊

Certainly lights up a room. Very beautiful...and loving the green walls!

Thank you! This room, actually, is painted with 2 different colored greens, the light (shown in pics) and a forest dark green. My orchids are currently sitting in front of that wall. My thinking was, if they can't be outside, (I live in IL) then I'd try to make them feel like they're outside. I know, sounds weird but I think they kinda like it! 😊
