The beautiful and fragrant first flower faded just a few days ago, and there she goes again… Bud number two from the lovely Ms. Phalaenopsis bellina has started to open. And just like the song (apparently inspired by a seductive street walker), she is indeed quite seductive – although I would definitely not call her a streetwalker. This lady has class!
There is something uniquely special about orchid flowers when they are just about to open up. They seem so erotic and vulnerable at the same time. I think I like this stage in the development the best, perhaps because the moment is so fleeting…
