Only afterwards did I notice something didn't look right with the canes. It turned out that the plant was dying, but it did produce a long beautiful spike of flowers, its swan song of sorts. Fortunately, all was not lost, as it also produced a keiki just before it died.
The keiki grew slowly, as most orchids do, and finally graced me with its lovely maiden blooms. Its purple and white two-toned flower is quite pleasing.

What a beautiful dendrobium orchid! Even though the original plant died you have been so lucky that it produced a bulbet prior to that, so that you didn't loose the variety. Wishing you a nice rest of the weekend!

How pretty, Trini Garden! I love this Pure Doreen!! The colour is like a gem. Now I can't wait for mine to bloom again...
ReplyDeleteOrchids are always beautiful, no matter what species or cultivar or color. I am glad you were able to make it live.
