    3 Years in the Making
    Well.....three years ago, my girlfriend bought me an orchid off of Ebay.


    For THREE years, it did NOTHING. It did not grow a single inch, a single leaf, a single root...it just sat there...for three years.


    So when I say that I was SHOCKED to see this, I think you would understand.



    1 FLOWER.......3 years in the making..

    I have a bunch of Phalenopsis (idk if spelling is correct) and a Cattleya orchid, I think they are the ugliest plants but the few and far between AWESOME blooms are totally worth the wait!!

    Nice pictures and nice orchid! They really try your patience, but the flowers are worth the work. Take plenty of pictures while you can.
