My orchid

The orchids have been very popular in Poland for a few years. Even though my family memebers bought their specimens long time ago, not until last Monday did I become an owner of this beautiful plant. The most popular genus of orchids is Phalaenopsis. My flower also belongs to this group. The orchids can boast a great variety of colous - they can be white, cream, violet, rose, pink, orange, yellow, spotted and  stripy...Just take a look :

In my next post I am going to show you my orchid and take a close look at the maintenance instruction card which was attached to the plant!
