Buds are coming along...

 

The variegated one will open first. I moved them out of our cold windows...and this one is happy on the table top, where it still gets sun part of the day.

The purple one is in the bedroom window, which gets very warm during the daytime. At least if the sun is shining like today.

It surprisingly has two blooming stalks. I hope it is able to produce flowers on two stalks. I need to find a stick to help their weight once they open. 

And the first one opened last night...so I added it to this post around noon Saturday.

And what I do is leave plants outside all summer, repot them with orchid soil, and give them some liquid fertilizer about two to three times a year. I try to avoid over watering. Bring them inside when nights go below 40 degrees. Sit them in sunny or partly sunny windows, again moving to warmer places with good light if the window sills get cold (when it's 30 or lower outside.) And as you can tell, this bloom is much smaller than the ones when we bought it last year. I also didn't remember it was striped pink and white. So either the other one is cream colored, or I got them mixed up when repotting them somehow. They are the dear "leave it alone" kinds of plants.
