My Orchid Bloomed

My Orchid plant bloomed, for the second time. I have had it for three years. It first bloomed sometime in May last year. There were only four flowers in the first bloom. This year, there are twice the number of flowers. I am very happy to see it bloomed. May there be many more.
Google image identified them as Phalaenopsis, commonly known as Moth Orchids.
There was a time, when it looked like it was dying. Fortunately, it survived.
The first bloom with only four flowers.
There was another plant after this, but that didn’t bloom. I am still hoping maybe it will do so later.
I was very pleased to see a flower stalk from the latest shoot.
The first flower.
The second flower
The third flower
The sixth flower
Last but one flower
Finally, full bloom.

I had a look and I must say I am impressed with your works. I have followed you to see more of your art works. Keep painting. Cheers!
Thank you for a warm words about my art!
You are welcome. Just telling it like it is. 😊
you must have took good care of it.
Wonder how many people still go with the charcoal nowadays.
Actually, I am not a good gardener. I just make sure there is plenty of sunlight and water. 😊
Sometimes a bit of luck helps.
Yes. They say an ounce of luck is better than a pound of hard work. 😊
If you can choose only one: Rich Father or High IQ.
Wa... haha... I must think a bit. 😀 And which would you choose? 😊
Difficult choice. My answer will be the one who is more happy but which one is that.
True. I guess I will never know. I don't have a rich father, and I don't have a high IQ. 😂
It looks good but I think it is a dendrobium orchid. Do you keep it in pure charcoal?
Thank you @nikv. I think you are right, and I guess google image recognition is not very good. No, I use a mixture of bricks and charcoal.
Thanks for using eSteem!

That's a gorgeous flower sir Vincent. I guess it took awhile to learn how to tolerate you.
And learned, it did. 😊
Yeah either it is a miracle plant or maybe you ain't so bad afterall. lol.
It must be a miracle plant then. 😊
oh! lol...hey I was prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt sir Vincent. lol.
Thank you Jonboy, but that was unnecessary. 😊
You mean I should just assume the worst? lol.
Yep! Assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised at how wrong you are. 😀
I thank you so much for posting in #alwaysaflower and I am so sorry that I missed your post!
