3 years ago over at a freind's house there was a PHALAENOPSIS orchid laying in the trash. I ask if I could have it and yes I got one of those looks with "if you want but it is dead. Yes it looked in very bad shape, no green leaves but the roots were. Currently it is in full bloom for the first time since I brought it home. It as been blooming for over a month with new blooms coming everyday. I am always on the look out for free plants. All I did is give it a good plant medium, food and water. With a little patience to wait for it to recover and bloom. Attahced is a picture form 2 weeks ago

Beautiful orchid!!

It's good to hear that I am not the only one who has rescued a plant from the garbage.
