I haven't updated for a while but it's getting really close to having the first flower.
I have a White one and a Deep Purple one. [I have photos of the previous flowers on my original post].
I'm so excited.
I made my own supports for them out of wire.
The white one grew its second stem this year only a few weeks after the first set of flowers.
It's my first time having one bloom twice in the same year.
I'll come to update again when they bloom.

Bonus, my Cattleya [ I think it is ] rescue Orchid that I found abandoned on the middle of a footpath last year. It had no visibly living roots except for one green part. It now has a large portion of green roots.
The older leaves still look a little rough, but it’s growing about 9 new babies. It has 4 new ones coming through. It likes being in a jar with water every 2 days and 3 days without.
