Pink speckled miniature phalaenopsis in bloom (variegated leaves)

Look what surprised me last weekend! Nothing quite cheers me up faster than a fresh set of blooms during those gloomy winter days. I have many orchids that will be rewarding me with lush blooms in the following months and since Phalaenopsis have some of the most long lasting flowers in the orchid world they have become a huge favorite among indoor plants.

You can below see some of the flowers still have to re-position themselves on the flower stem (a process called resupination).

Oh what a surprise when I spotted this lovely variegated-leaved moth orchid! It is a miniature orchid with small light pink speckled flowers. The silvery pattern on the leaves only add to the beauty of the specimen.
