5/24/05 - Moth Orchid Macro - Start Year 2

This is the same orchid that I bought in early March when I couldn't wait any longer for nature to bring some spring flowers. With the constant heavy rain that we've had over the past few days, it still serves. Amazes me how long it has stayed in bloom. I wonder how long the dormant period will be. Anyone know?

Looks like a kind of Phalaenopsis ? If it's like mine, it could flower again in a few months. Mine just finished flowering for the fourth time off the original flower stalk.

Nice, I like the dark curving stem Ed!
