Mini Orchid Surprise

Flower spikes started appearing on my larger phalaenopsis orchids about November 25, followed by spikes on my minis. The buds on the larger orchids are much bigger but they haven't bloomed yet. Orchid growing sure helps you develop patience.

EXIF shows "Daylight" as white balance, but camera was on Auto White Balance. Perhaps it changes to daylight when you use the internal flash?

Great to see this! I have never had success in getting the mini ones to re-flower, but the larger ones do fairly well. Lovely shot.

What a beautiful little orchid! I'd never have the patience for them, but I'm glad you do.

So happy for you, I know that you've been VERY patient for those flowers, enjoy
