Orchid Bloom! 2 of 4...

YAY! The second orchid has bloomed! This the Aussie Chip orchid I got at the Orchid Show in 2009. It's part of the orchid challenge of getting half of mine to rebloom, and it started sending out buds last month.

It doesn't look quite as healthy as it did when I bought it. I'm thinking it wants a little more indirect light so I might have to find a new home for the little guy. It looks like there will be about 5-6 spikes of flowers when it's all done. I don't know how this one works, but it seems like most of the spikes are coming off newer shoots.

How ever it works, those are some damn cute little spotted flowers. I think I just might win this challenge.
