Pink noId
Old phalaenopsis from the grocery store is getting ready to bloom. Last winter it had two buds. I always cut the spike after blooming is done.
This year again - two buds developed on a new spike:
It is probably low light that keeps the flower count down.
I don't fuss much with this phal, it lives in the same plastic pot that it came in and I probably repotted it just once back then into Shultz bark mix. The roots look good through the pot, so I am not touching it.
The flowers are pretty pink and every winter I wait for them to open...

The new years bloom on my pretty pink NoId Phalaenopsis is still here. Last weekend I finally captured its true color in the daylight without sun:

New Year's bloom
I just discovered that my pink noId Phalaenopsis opened the flower during last night. I like its pretty color and flower shape. There were two buds but one blasted probably because humidity is going down now.
This phal just finished last blooming in the middle of summer and promptly started new spike in the beginning of October without proper rest period.
It probably explains why there were only two buds.

Look who is spiking
With all the recent new orchids purchases I sort of neglected (I was watering them regularly of course, just didn't check them out every day as before) some of my noId phals that were here among first ones. To get back my attention two of them together decided to send out spikes.
This one from Costco got here around last christmas with two large spikes covered with cheerful yellow blooms.
This is its first re-bloom and the flowers should be here probably around christmas again, so it is in a normal cycle.
Spike close up:
The other is dark pink one, I got it as a mother's day gift last May and it was in bloom through June. Then it grew new leaf and decided to bloom again not waiting for it's proper time - next May:
I am sure that it happened because when we moved here in September I placed them in the basement where now I have quite bright spot for plants too, but temps a bit cooler than those phals used to. Cooler temps trigger spikes.
I should try to put there my phal cornucervi that has old spike forever and doesn't do anything with it.
