Orchids for Valentine's Day!

I awoke this morning to a lovely Valentine's Day surprise...
one of my phaleanopsis orchids gifted my family and I with a gorgeous new bloom! 


It's the first of the bunch so there's more to come,
but this bloom is special for Valentine's Day.

This photo isn't the best,
but you can see the full plant and the blooms to come!

I love the variety of gold, yellow, pink and purple in this single blossom! 
And the petals shimmer in the light. 
Beautiful!


Happy Valentine's Day, all!

You have a beautiful Phal there. I noticed you use bamboo for attachment. Here it is not advisable as it doesnt maintain moisture and it decompose so fast.
