Phalaenopsis deliciosa bloomed

Tiny spike on Phalaenopsis deliciosa did develop its only bud and today it opened up:



That is the cutest phalaenopsis flower I ever had bloomed. It is so small and hiding under the leaf so I had to use flash to make the pictures otherwise it would come out totally dark. The flash created all the sparkles on the bloom:



Now I would like to get a white flowered variety...

About deliciosa spike

Adorable deliciosa plant in need of repotting was growing a spike.
Then I noticed that spike grows right down into moss - dirty green moss that had to be replaced long time ago:



So, I decided to repot and try to change direction of the spike. Unpotted, the roots look fine - all fim, some growing points:



It appeared that no matter how I turn the plant in the pot - the spike never looks up. I tried this and that and finally settled for the following:



I placed small piece of packing peanut under the spike and put the plant into tank making sure that light shines in the opposite direction:



At this point I think I did everything I could to help plant realize that spike shouldn't grow into moss. Hope it gets a hint. Also hope that repotting will not abort the spike...

Phalaenopsis deliciosa

This plant was always standing in a corner of the orchid tank, not getting much of attention. I don't think I ever repotted it since purchasing over a year ago.

It grew a new leaf and started to look pretty decent, altough needing some fresh moss in the pot of course:



Well, last watering I noticed this:



No, not the root, a little spike just above it. It is so small and hiding under the leaf - hard to make a good picture.
Label on this plant was Phal. deliciosa var. yellow, so I am thinking it would be hookeriana. Hopefully spike will develop the blooms to confirm it.

Phalaenopsis deliciosa

I have had this plant for a while.
From the beginning it had some problem with one of the leaves and it came down almost to the crown so I was pretty sure plant was a goner. I didn't throw it away only because it is kind of hard-to-find species, so I just left it be.

At some point problem stopped and plant was just standing there looking non-pretty.
Recently I noticed some positive activity - a new leaf and a new root:



So, I guess, this is a belated introduction. The name on the plant stated deliciosa yellow, but there is no var. yellow in the deliciosa family. However from the description of the var. hookeriana I think it might be it. Therefore I am going to log it under the name Phal. deliciosa var. hookeriana for now.
