I am a sucker for deals!! I found this purple Phalaenopsis Orchid on sale for $5.00. This Orchid is in pretty bad shape though and is another one with no name. The way I look at it is it looks bad now but what about later? With some good caring this Orchid will be beautiful again!!
As you can see in the first pictures the Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid was not even in the pot, it was just laying on top of the Orchid mix. The Flowers are not very healthy looking either, one is even shriveling up. One of the leaves has a big crease in it and another has had the tip cut off. This poor Orchid has been mistreated.
In the last three pictures I have re-potted the Orchid in a much better Orchid mix than it came in. I gave it a good watering and a little bit of food. Now the Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid sits on my filing cabinet in my office by the window. I will keep you posted on the progress of this Orchids rehabilitation.

Here are some pictures of my first Orchid. I bought this Orchid at my local garden center on clearance for $6.00. This is a Phalaenopsis Orchid. I don't know the rest of the name because the grower didn't have a name, maybe that's why it was so cheap.
The first picture was taken 2 weeks ago with only 2 blooms. Now there are 3 blooms!! Pretty exciting to watch these Orchids bloom, they are just so detailed and beautiful! It looks like there should be another bloom soon!! I keep this Orchid inside by the window in my office. It gives me something to look at when I get stumped on something. I will keep you posted when the next bud opens up!! Enjoy!!!
