Here She Is, My Lovely Orchid
I've promised to be back with photos of my lovely orchid when it's fully opened. That moment has come and here I am with some photos I took this morning.
I'm not going to repeat the whole story, for those who don't know, last year i moved the flower when it was preparing to open and the buds dried and fell off one by one, one after another, so I got no flower at all.
I guess gardening is like football and politics. Everyone is a specialist, without having to learn anything. Sometimes it's ok, you can care for a flower without learning anything but that's not always the case.
Some plants are resistant, others need a lot of light and special care. I've seen people keeping a lot of indoor plants and being proud of it while the plants had not soil at all or grown out of the pot years ago and struggling.
I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and learn as much as I can about my flowers to take good care of them, to avoid further mistakes. So here she is in her full beauty, I'm hoping I can enjoy the flowers for another two month or so.

Thank you very much!
Congratulations on it blooming! Yes, orchids are finicky and I'm sometimes I'm too lazy or busy to follow all of the steps to get mine to rebloom.
Thank you, I've been lucky, I got this orchid in February 2016 and except last year, she's been constantly blooming. Good luck with yours.
Thank you!
Nice i have one like that hopefully it blooms soon. The buds are easy to accidentally knock off.

Mine is in a safe place, no chance of hurting it. I'm extremely careful with it, always placing back as it was and making sure no one can touch it 😊
Funny thing i just went to an orchid greenhouse and saw a bunch of these there. I'll post some of the pics soon.
