My young schilleriana in full bloom. No fragrance, sadly, but a real beauty, and just in time that I got to see it before my hospital stay. If it hadn't messed up everything else, I almost would consider being really thankful for that cold that delayed the surgery and helped me see this one in all its glory. The cold - as always with me - is still ongoing after weeks, but as it looks right now at least, the surgery will happen anyway. Which means I will probably be home in time to see all my other phal and oncidium blooms. Wish me luck. #phalaenopsisorchid #happyplants #orchidlovers

@MusicalRedmint oh I love the color, Susann. Such a subtle pink on the outer of the leaves 🀩
I hope you hospital stay goes well and you have someone caring for your plants if you need it. Certainly wish you luck and hope you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Thanks for sharing and hope to see some more of your blooms in time. πŸ™πŸ˜Š
Thank you, @Seymour. Dog, plants, and apartment are taken care of. Only remaining question mark is whether I will find a timely sitter for the rests of the mean little bacteria residing in my body right now. But postponing it another time is also messy. So...πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
Yes she is a beauty. A lot more delicate than advertised and I love it. I'm already really looking forward to is next bloom to see if it does develop fragrance after some time, after all.
Ooh it's one of my wishlist plants! The flowers are beautiful! And the leaves are amazing! Same for P.pulcherrima var. marmorata and P.Cellinde!
@Araceae I have a pulcherrima primary hybrid - the orchidom nancy. Sadly the leaves are closer to the other parent this time around (I lost the first one, which had the most amazing leaves, to a fungus. I replaced it because of the leaves but they turned out less stunning. Still beautiful though.)
This particular schilleriana has particular beautiful patterning on the leaves, though I miss the smell. The fragrance alone is always enough of a reason to put it on any wishlist πŸ˜€
Now I'm off to google the Cellinde πŸ˜€
@MusicalRedmint wow, she is stunning and the pre-op pick-you-up that’s needed. Susann, I am wishing you the best with your surgery and a speedy recovery.
@Arid_oasis thank you
Beautiful orchid and the color is stunning. I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.
