At last!

I've been eagerly anticipating the new blooms on the orchid plant - for a long, long time. The stems grew so rapidly you could almost see them grow, but the blooms - like the new leaf - take their own sweet time.

This is the first bloom of 10. Some of the flower pods are so small it will be months before they blossom. I'm guessing that the pods to the right won't flower for at least another week.
