Winter in the Greenhouse - Susan's Orchid

Last year Susan's orchid put out a scape of buds, much like this one, only to perish in sub-freezing temps. This year, when not one but two scapes were produced, I insulated the plant when our temps fell into the 20s and ...

... this was my reward.

See Susan? I've been taking good care of it. :)

They don't have a scent that I can detect, Joy. Just all prettiness.; 3:41 PM PST
