Mariposa Orchid

I was excited to see that my Mariposa Orchid had bloomed for the first time since I attached it to the oak tree on the side of our house. "Mariposa" means "butterfly" in Spanish, and I think you can see where it gets its name.

It definitely has the look of a butterfly or similar insect. Glad that it's blooming.
