User's notes

I was watching this bud for 6 weeks as it unfurled into two flowers. Photo 1: 12 Oct, photo 2: 1 Sept, photo 3: 13 Sept, photo 4: 20 Sept, photo 5: 27 Sept. It is the same orchid reported in sighting 4397436 from 6 Oct with one flower open. This is just a selection of photos taken over the period. Something to do during lock down :)
