Phalaenopsis. The elegant and gorgeous flowers of this orchid really show themselves pretty on the patio of my friend. Well, I would like to say that new plants arrived at my home, but it is not the case. These are my friend's plants. I am spending some days here, and as her home is home for us too, practically, I can call them my orchids? OK, just for a short time of vacation spending here.
So, she is also a succulent and orchid lover, also any other plant that comes her way is saved and loved. This includes picking cuttings from plants living in the wilderness, or in the pots of neighbours. When we walk together, it doesn't matter where, our place or their one, we always end up taking home some new cuttings and well, the community of plants receives a new baby.
But this mainly happens with the succulents, as you know, there are so many all around in our climate. Orchids are a bit harder to find, so all these ones she got as a gift or bought them. They are doing well as she found a place for them in the decorative fountain on the closed patio. They have plenty of light and are protected from cold (it has a glass roof).
What happened to my orchid, is that it lived on the balcony but after some time it started to show some not healthy signs. Brown and black spots on the leaves. Thanks to 
Other plants also found a place in her home. Many of them. Because of the good light and protected zone, they are all doing well. Many of those are the "children" of the bigger plants she has, so it is a kind of a kindergarten :D
Before they go to the new pots, they live in a special place. It was so funny to see plants in the jars in the kitchen, all already have roots. Maybe soon they will have new homes, new pots! At the moment they like the company of oranges, pears, apples and bananas! Strange combinations hahaha.
Oh, and a surprise. On the other patio, more plants live, but just two will come here. One jelly plant, very similar to the one I have got, and the children of my big fuzzy plant that had the suicidal attempts some months ago. I had enough of the new cuttings that I planted, so one of the pots I gave her. They will do so well here, with their new mom :)
They have a good life :))
