Look what popped overnight!

I got up this morning to start watering the chids and look who was there to greet me! It's Neofinetia falcata x self. There are 9 buds, so I'll post a picture when they're all open. Now I'll be late for work but, oh well...

Hi I'm new here. That is really beautiful Patti. I have been loving orchids for a couple years now and have a small collection of about 55...mostly phals. I love when I get surprised with new buds when I'm not looking for them. Anyway, I hope to get to know you all, I'm in S. Ontario.

It was, Damien... and coming home from work today, to find #3 open was really sweet! My Naples Nights was open, too! Much needed after a long hot day at work.
