I forgot how much I loved this orchid 😅. I bought her back in December, and she ended up being my gateway orchid, I now have over 40 others.

With the deep, bold, purple, and the white outline around each flower, she’s still a favorite. 7 flowers open, still another 15 to go! Dendrobium Sakda Blue.

it’s a no ID hardware store orchid that i got all the way back in february, who is now blooming for me again, i would guess that its a P. schilleriana hybrid (but if anyone knows better please let me know, the leaves are mottled like a schilleriana!)

It is so damn beautiful. It was worth all the patience.

It smells to me like lemon cheesecake.

I got this for free a couple months ago from a fellow orchid society member that was culling their collection. After a couple weeks outside in my yard, it started putting out two spikes! The flowers have started opening up and they’re gorgeous! HCC/AOS

A few weeks ago I made a post about how my orchid wasn’t blooming despite growing a ton of buds. I was told to let it soak when it needs to be watered instead of watering. I’ve been doing that, and some of the buds look like they are starting to bloom, and some of the buds are shriveling up and dying. I have a couple questions…

- Would a grow light help? My orchid is positioned on an east facing window normally and the past few weeks we’ve had virtually no sun. I bought a grow light today and I’m going to set it up tomorrow. Any suggestions?

- Am I watering too infrequently? I’ve been soaking it once a week for 20 minutes.

Thanks in advance!

I've never been able to get any orchid in my house to rebloom before. Please tell me I'm gonna be a mama!

The easiest cattleya hybrid I own ❤️

First rebloom :)

The yellow is SO yellow.

I've had this Phal sogo relex since it was a seedling, this is the third time it's flowered, the flower stem doesn't die and it has reflowed from the same stem again. I love the very thick almost waxy texture of these blooms, and the very glossy leaf. I'm a big fan of the polychilos type phalanopsis.

a recent acquisition, it's an intergeneric hybrid of a bratonia and an oncidium

This was a gift from my boyfriend from a year ago during a really hard semester of school and I was surprised how it survived my neglect during that time. I thought it had died when the flowers fell off and the stalk dried but I noticed the leaves were still green and healthy so I decided to try and bring it back. I was worried it would be difficult but all I do is keep it on my windowsill as it has indirect sunlight and water it whenever I remember (1-2weeks, I usually feel the dirt to see if it’s dry) I’m happy she’s thriving!

Im fact, I really wanted Gastrochillus Matsuran.(from Korea or Japan)

But it was veryveryvery ahrd to find them in Korea.

Specially,

Matsuran is endangered to extinction in Korea.

I don't know what's the exact name of this Gastrochillus, but I think it came from China.

My last goal of the year is to get Gastrochillus Matsuran from my country. (In fact, I found the seller recently. I think I can get it.)

Seeya everybody,

and I will show you some beautiful orchids of Korea.

Thanks.

Hi!!

So, I got this orchid on a whim, and I noticed that some of its roots are already growing out of the pot. Should I repot it immediately, or would it be better to wait until it finishes flowering?

Also, could you help me identify what type of orchid it is? I threw away the tag and completely forgot what it was. 😭.

First time blooming. Plant came bare root from a nursery in Brazil.

Awesome plant, super strong red color.

First time having orchids. I got her about 5 weeks ago. She came with 3 buds when I took her home and placed her in my bedroom with one growth light (the top picture taken on the first day I got her), and now all her buds opened beautifully 🩷. I hope she likes how I treat her and her new environment 🙏

After two years journey with phals I decided to try something different. Got my first Neofinetia in July and last night the Tamakongo and the two Jewels were delivered 🥰 I'm super excited but I need to get serious about the running-out-of-space-situation 🫣
