The last time these orchids bloomed was in 2015. It's been a long wait for me and it had to happen over the Lunar New Year holidays when I was away.

I think these are called
Dendrobium Sonia . Please don't take my word for it. I am relying on Google Images to identify this!
At first, one petal stuck out. Just so you know, it takes ages for orchid flowers to bloom and once it does, it stays for awhile too.

The first to open up and what I saw last before I went away for a week-long holiday.

This greeted me when I returned home.

You know what else is great about orchids? They're tough! I can go on week-long holidays without worrying about them. It doesn't require daily watering.
Have you seen my other orchids? I think I have a thing for purple flowers. You may see it in my previous post -
