After 2 wks, this flower probably has only a few more days before it fades. Too bad the photo doesn’t capture the iridescent colors.

It’s been about 3 weeks since these flowers opened. They’re about to fade now.

This truly miniature orchid has flowers much larger than the plant and this flower is now 2 months old. It’s starting to show some aging.

TJ’s had other than Phalaenopsis orchids but I didn’t take their pics because they were wrapped in plastic 😞.

This orchid remains as one of my favorites. Has long lasting flowers, tolerates cold, flowers frequently, grows without a fuss.

I got this last year. Apparently this flowers just once a year unlike some Cattleya hybrids with C. sophronitis in its lineage.

It looks like our TJ’s have reduced orchid prices from $20 to $15 recently. I hope they stay that way.
