Dtps. hybrid

Pretty Dtps came from Kingfisher Orchids a while ago and was a bonus plant. The name on the label is quite long: Dtps. Freed's Beautiful Girl 'Blue' X Phal Equestris 'Alba'. It had a spike with blooms.
The moss looked too packed up, so I decided to repot it right then. As a result - blooms shriveled, buds dropped and spike yellowed. I cut it off.
Plant didn't do anything for a while, but now there is some activity: new leaf start and a couple of new roots:

  1. You have such beautiful healthy plants. Like your idea of mounting certain plants on clay pots, too. Will have to try that.

  2. Thank you Ron! I got the idea of clay pot mounting from Orchid Board. There is a whole thread about it with pictures. Pretty inspiring...
