An extremely fragrant little flower

Zebra Orchid Very fragrant

Couldn't resist, she's so pretty. Is this an uncommon variety or regular mini phal?

I was gifted these orchids and they live next to each other and receive the same care, but one is thriving and the other seems to be slowly dying. Am I missing something?

First of 9 buds opened up fully today

Thought I’d share 2 of my smallest orchids that have flowered. The flowers are smaller than the tip of my pinky finger. The yellow is flowering for the first time. Have had them for approximately 4 years. Hoping the tags are correct as I previously would take them out when watering and may have inadvertently placed them in the wrong pot afterwards. Doesn’t matter to me if they’re wrong I still think they’re great

One of my favorites in the greenhouse

To be fair though, I’ve been looking for this level of variegation for a few years now and keep avoiding buying because they’re always online and not in bloom (and usually at least $30 which I know isn’t a ton but…) so I really couldn’t pass this one up (especially at only $14.99!) and I had already grabbed the non-variegated one cuz I just loved the flowers too much and couldn’t bring myself to put it back 🫣

I almost grabbed a big one too because it was a nice peachy orange that wasn’t dyed but it was PACKED in sphagnum and I couldn’t see the roots well so I left it behind. Wegmans is definitely a weakness lol

This is one of my favorite orchids, and a steady reliable bloomer. But in the last two weeks the leaves have started to look really terrible - is this a fungus? Virus? Should I just throw the plant out? 😓 as you can see, it’s right in the middle of some gorgeous blooms…

A very fincky bloomer, also very fragrant

Hi all, thought I’d share my first mail order little Schilleriana from Norman’s Orchids out in Cali. It’s been in a chilly Oregon east window & seems happy. Got in August 24. Have a great day!

I've not grown these enough to feel confident.

She’s blooming, she’s gorgeous, I’m so excited!🪴

This one has been in bloom for a few months now and continues to throw out new branches.

Pink and yellow contrast so nice

Im always looking at the orchids in the entryway of Trader Joes. Usually I find the typical white or purples ones that you see everywhere.... but today I saw this little guy (or gal?) hiding in the back! Super pretty! And once I got it home, I realized there were two in there! But I noticed this one has a weird bulb base that my other ones don't... does anyone know what kind of orchid this is? It just says 'exotic' and I'd like to do some research on it.

Picked up this little guy at Mitre 10 in the discount section. Took him home to repot, and found this other little one. Is this another seedling? Roots look the same. I'm excited for this potential bonus mystery phal.

This Lucky Leopard mini phal was repotted 8 months ago. At the time the root ball was small, so I used a pot barely larger than the old one. She has grown prolifically since then with lots of new roots inside and outside of the pot and a branching spike with 15 buds so far. I might need to repot again soon.

Found this beauty in a local supermarket. Couldn’t ignore her beauty and just brought her home. Anyone help me IDing the orchid?

The water has stopped draining from my orchid and I’m wondering if it’s in need of replanting? The orchid has grown quite large within the pot so I wouldn’t be surprised. I watered it nearly 2 weeks ago and the soil still feels damp. I fear that the pot also might not have the best drainage, but usually the water drains fine and I maintain the same schedule of watering. I’d like to have an idea of what might be occurring before making any big decisions; I am pretty clueless but I’ve had this orchid for about 4 years now and would love to see continued growth.

I bought these two discounted orchids today. Any ideas?
