Orchids bloom, by golly

That brave little orchid, living with no care on the back porch, has pink-backed blooms that are a deep pink on their face with a white center. A really simple flower, not as complex and curved as some orchids I've seen, and I think all the buds have opened, without the stalks getting any taller. I gave it water, the first watering this month.
