Orchid in BLOOM!

Well so much for keeping you updated on my orchid buds' progress to opening!!! I'm not sure when it grew so fast from the earlier picture to this one but it did! The larger bud is about the size of a walnut and the flower is about 2" X 3" right now - but may grow a bit yet when completely opened up. I guess I was so busy and then there was a period of not 100% so guess I just didn't pay much attention to it when watering - shame on me! Anyways here is the bloom I'd say just open maybe a couple of days as it's still in the cupped stage whereas it is more flat when opened completely. I'm hoping the tiny bud on the end continues to develop. This plant is due for 5-9 flowers in this cycle - at least I hope so!
