Sogo Yukidian

I forgot the date when I bought this orchid at the garden store. One thing I remember, it had beautiful large white flowers on display. I was so enticed to have the plant but it was so expensive that I didnt buy it.
Everyday I went  to the store just to visit the plant and marvel at the beauty of its flowers.  It was a dream to have it. 
Two months on display, I waited patiently for the blooms to fall off because I am waiting for it to be on sale. 
True enough, two months after I first saw it, it was finally  on sale for $9.00.   It was a better deal than $24.99. I took it from the shelf of the store and went to the counter. Paid for it and took it home.
Well, several months after, a secondary spike showed and another several months after when the buds started to show. The wait was long when the first bud opened...luckily, now there is just one more bud left to open.
It was a happy moment to see its beauty once again. 
Enjoy the pictures.

my white phal with multiple spikes

What a long wait for all the buds to open....

Well as of today, not all the buds are open yet. Still counting but sad to say I lost several buds from bud blast. Hopefully, not going to lose another bud.

Enjoy the picture guys. Thanks for visiting.

Update on my phal in glass vase.

I am happy to see the buds growing bigger and bigger everyday. Can't wait to see how the blooms will look like.

I bought this orchid on sale and  it has no flowers when I bought it. Since it has no flowers at that time, I decided to play an experiment with it.  So the plant ended in a glass vase.

Well, it was a success. The plant thrives and now it is ready to open its first bloom for me.
