I thought I couldn't have re-flowering orchids until I discovered that one main requirement was just patience!

What a beautiful photo, Hazel! A friend gave me some orchid cutting years and years and years ago, and for years and years, nothing happened. ...and then one day... Now the pot is packed with stems and blooms and has been that way for a number of years. I never gave up because the stems didn't die...and for that I was rewarded! Delighted you were as well!

Beautiful flower and capture .They are wonderful plants to have but mine always seem to get the sticky insect syndrome and then die on me if I try to keep them.

@phil_howcroft

I really don't know if I am patient or not - for some things maybe.............

[Pyrrhula]

You do n`t need to be patient for it , just a lot of time. Beautiful micro.
