Author Message   Blue_rose  Posted on Sunday, January 27, 2008 - 09:21 pm EST :    I bought a Phalaenopsis Orchid some time ago and my cat knocked it down and broke the flower spikes off, midbloom. Despite this dissapointment it has come out of it and is getting ready to bloom again. It has a unique color if I remember right. I will post the stages of this orchid's blooming as it progresses. Here are some current pictures.

I buy mine cheap from a DIY store where they cost a fortune in good condition but there are lots of neglected ones really cheap.I get these and just cut of the old flowers and of they go again. Got to watch the pennies!! Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Blue_rose  Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - 08:22 pm EST :    Thank you for the advice. That is what I did with the spikes that my cat broke. They are barely visible but you can kinda see the spikes coming from the stems that were cut off. Here is my orchid opening up.
