Paph vexillarium finally bloomed!!! It took 2 months from the time I saw it buried inside the leaves till fully opened. Isn’t she beautiful??

I got SO excited, I found a bud hiding in this plant!! (Burr. Nellie Isler 'Swiss Beauty') I didn’t expect to see any blooms this year, so I’m thrilled!
Also I was checking my Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' and it has a whole new growth!! I'm hoping I get a spike from it. 🤞

My little mini Paph opened up today!! 😱 It’s sooo cute, and about as tall as a quarter! 🥰

These are my favorite Phalaenopsis orchids right now.
The first one is my biggest, some of the blooms measure 5 inches across, and if it were staked upright instead of a U shape it would measure about 3 feet tall!!!
The minis are tiny and adorable, also some of the most perfect, healthy orchids I've purchased.
I've purchased a lot of orchids from a lot of places, but these minis are flawless, and even the roots are in wonderful shape!
Most plants I've bought have needed a repot and I've had to remove varying amounts of dead roots. With these so far the roots are all in amazing shape, new growth, etc.
Honestly I probably did more harm than good poking around in it, and usually that's never the case!
The last orchid reminds me a little of the Mini Mark, but I've heard the MM is susceptible to lots of things and not a very hardy plant. So I felt this was a better, likely healthier choice. 👍

I have a local source for gorgeous mini Phals!! They are beautiful, super healthy, have very pretty ceramic pots and are imported from Canada!
I am super impressed with them! Everything is currently blooming with extra buds. They actually have one that I paid $45 for, only $20! 😭
I looked into bulk ordering the “just add ice” minis but was not impressed. 😬😬 I think this is a much better option.
I’ll attach some colors taken from Google to show what’s available - shipping should be $8 or less as well, which is great!
Anyone looking for anything particular or want to grab one of these? I can’t guarantee how long they will be available! (Pictures are taken from Google to show colors available, I can run back and get pictures of individual plants if interested)

My mini Phalaenopsis orchids were successfully pollinated!! There are little flaps on each side of the stigma (little sticky cave in the middle of the flower where the pollen sacs go) that have closed around the pollen! The flowers that I didn’t pollinate are still open 🙂
(I’ll try to show what I mean with the pictures attached. First is an open, unpollinated flower, second is the pollinated, closed flower.)

You guessed it…. Another Phalaenopsis 🤣

So… I have found another orchid supplier! Their prices are even a little better, and they offer different types of plants that my other supplier does not.
I’m not sure when I will place an order, but I have heard their quality is good. 😊
