Pink on pink veined moth orchid

Sometimes it pays off to visit the local Walmart clearance shelves. I rescued this lovely pink princess who had nothing wrong with her except having spent and damaged blossoms. Before any plant purchase, I  thoroughly inspect the leaves, roots, flowers and moss for any signs of disease or pests and always place them in quarantine. I won't risk infecting my entire collection so I have dedicated several spots of my house as segregation areas. It is well worth the effort to being pro-active, trust me!

 

Phalaenopsis NOID, pink on pink, veined with magenta lip

Pinstriped pink Phalaenopsis noid

I have many noid phals but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them. Although, I prefer to acquire accurately named cultivars, it is rarely possible nowadays unless purchasing plants from a reputable nursery.

Oh well, I hope you enjoy this cute little pinstriped gem...she looks like she's dressed in pyjamas!

Miniature moth orchids in pink and yellow

Two more pink miniatures I acquired. The yellow and pink blush variety bellow is very easy to propagate as I was able to divide into four plants within 2 years. 

The pale lime green and light pink veined cultivar below is the most recent addition; yet another beautiful gift by my thoughtful husband. Love you honey!

Pinstripe Phalaenopsis

This pink phal actually has a veined pattern which I find resembles pinstripes. I have yet to coax this stubborn plant to bloom for me. I saved this plant (noid) from certain death when I purchased it and so may take many years to bloom.

NOID Moth Orchid

I could not resist getting this nice pink flowered moth orchid eventhough it did not have a id. tag.
