What might you ask is so special about this phalaenopsis? Well, it is the first time EVER I have managed to coax one to reflower the following year and I am chuffed to little bits with it Very Happy It was a Silver Wedding present last year.

Oh what a pretty flower. Well done. I can never manage to get things to re-flower either. So I'm quite envious.

No Linz, I can kill a flowering plant with a look from 30 paces! Green plants I'm fine with, like Ivies and spider plants, but not flowering ones.

It's beautiful! Well done!

I often look at the orchids at the nursery wondering if I dare buy one but with my track record with any kind of indoor plant - even cacti - it would be dead within a week.

They are pretty tough really - I've got a few and I do neglect them quite badly Rolling Eyes
