Beautiful photo of a beautiful orchid Hazel!
It is so rewarding when an orchid gives new birth.

Beautiful photo of this wonderful Phalaenopsis orchid. They are become so popular in our country , you can buy them in nearly every store for a price as a Big Mac.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I've only had a few successes with reflowering orchids but it's really magic when it happens!

We wait till all the flowers are gone, cut the flower stem quite short just above a bud, move it to a cool windowsill and leave it there until something happens!
You get a 50% success rate - either it does or it does not!

@andrewrome365 I do similar but I feel that orchids are rather capricious. I have friends who have had one flowering for a few years just non-stop and they don't even 'feed' it!!
