The first flower is fully open and the second (seen just behind it) is just a few days behind. This is my favourite orchid at the moment, but I have two I have never seen in flower.

Oh my goodness - that's lovely!!!
I am new to the orchid world. Bought one at the flower show last February and I haven't killed it yet (that's good for me with houseplants).
Do I need to do anything special to encourage it to bloom (fertilizer-wise)?

I feed them with orchid feed about once or twice a month and keep them in the living room on an easterly facing window sill with net curtains at the window.
