Orchid Opening

The first of four flower spikes on this orchid is opening:
Something's had a nibble on the ends of the petals. I wonder what?

I have no idea what this orchid is called. It was given to me last year by a lady who had been given a piece by a neighbour 30 years ago. So it's a "pass it around" type of plant.

  1. So pretty--love the color variations. Don't you just love that kind of plant that's been passed around...

  2. Beautiful, I never appreciated orchids until I was given one. Just love the deep purple colour.

  3. Beautiful colour, I gave Emma is piece of a cymbidium a couple of years ago. She had forgotten about it and was delighted to see that it had a spike of buds.

  4. Orchids are very pretty. I've always heard it is hard to get them to bloom. Not being a plant person, I don't know if that is true.
