A) August 24th.

Arne purchased this orchid this year. The weather has been very cooperative and the orchid has flourished this Summer. We saw several flower stems developing very quickly in late July and early August.
 |
B) Flower stems developing.
|
 |
C) Zooming to another flower stem.
|
 |
| D) September 7th. More developed stems. At least eight buds appeared. |
 |
| E) The orchid looks delicate. |
|
F) Flowers opening up very nicely on September 22nd.
|
 |
G) Four flowers opened at this time.
|
 |
H) Up close.
Today we still have four flowers completely open but within one to two weeks, we should see a total of eleven flowers in bloom. Definitely more than the average of three to six as predicted. This orchid has great potential for another future award. Fingers cross.
