Orchid!


Will has successfully rebloomed another orchid-- another one that he has had for over 6 years! 

 The spike is coming off a two foot stalk.  We have been watching this stalk stretch for weeks.  Then it finally stopped producing leaves and started to send out a spike.  The spike finally pushed out buds.  And after another few days of waiting, the buds have started to open, displaying a magenta flower.  




For as long at the stalk and spike are, we were expecting some more grandiose blossom.  However, the color is quite spectacular even though they are quite small.
