Two orchids

These orchids have been flowering for a few weeks already. The one's I gave my sone flowered a few weeks earlier than mine.

My son's orchid

It was only a few weeks ago that our son was complaining that the orchid plant I gave him hadn't flowered yet. I urged him to have patience.

When I visited his home on Mother's Day on the dining table was this spectacular bloom. He hadn't told me - he wanted to surprise me. Of course it did.

I have several plants of the save variety - and mine are in bud. Not advanced as much as his are.

Spectacular purple orchid blooms.
