"Smith's," she said.
Oh boy! That's where I do my weekly shopping. When I got there Saturday, I went straight to the floral department and discovered I was a bit too late, there was only one sale orchid left. But...
This is a normal Phalenopsis. Very beautiful.
This is the Phalenopsis I bought. It's a mutant! (Eeek!) Three top sepals and three sets of labellums per bloom instead of one. How cool is that?
Click on the pic for the big version.The plant is pretty battered, but I hope with tender care and my wonderful kitchen window exposure it will grow healthy and bloom again so I can see if it's just this one spike that's affected or if it's the whole plant.

Actually, I like the mutant better. It may be one of a kind and you could have another claim to fame.
freaky! It totally looks like a different kind of orchid entirely. But actually quite attractive!
Hey, hey, thanks for the link. LOVE the orchid. And, if anyone can keep her alive, you can. :))
