Late Bloomer

I have to say I am well impressed with my green fingers at the moment.  Check out this bad boy:


My orchid is coming back to life!

I'd always 'heard' that after it stopped flowering you could cut the stem, let it sit somewhere cool-ish, and wait for a new stem and buds to appear, so last year that's exactly what I did.  It did look somewhat rubbish and stalky, but I faithfully watered it (clearly not too much), and lo and behold a few months ago a new stem started growing and this past week new buds have appeared.  I'm really quite excited by it all!
