But then again, I kill the mature ones too, which are a lot more expensive.

Well done for not killing this one until it was finally ready to flower!

Quite an odd looking flower too, all wavy and hairy. Very peculiar.

We have several orchids here, I think mostly the standard Phalaenopsis versions... all of which belong to my partner

(She has gone away to University, so I'm trying very hard to keep them alive until she returns home at Xmas)
