Phoenix-like Phalaenopsis

Taiwan is famous for its orchids - you get them every where and they are very cheap (well, compared to what they cost in Europe...)! In February, we got two beautiful Phalaenopsis at teh International Scholars Lunch of NTU. And, as I am used to with orchids, they were flowering for a long while, but then, they had lost their very last flower, and knowing how difficult it is to have them flower again, I put them on our balcony and more or less forgot about them. Only some days ago, I discovered, that they are going to have blossoms again, and one is already showing me one of its beautiful flowers... Like a phoenix from the ash, our Phalaenopsis rose again from being a mere stick with some green leaves to a magnificent queen of the plants.
