Another Plant Event

I've been watching this orchid (purchased in Hawaii thru eBay) for the last month or so as it initiated a spike with bud.  Inch by inch the spike unfurled and grew...and now the bud is close to opening (I expect in the next day or two).  I took some bud photos tonite as the precusor to the main event!

Here is a painterly version of this beautiful paph in bud.



Once it has opened I will put up pics with name (its a complex hybrid).  I hope it blooms true to the picture I saw of it.

Woow. I can't wait!

How's the bud doing? Is it time for an update?
