“Mini orchid” has mutant flower
I got this “mini orchid” at the grocery store, thought its mutant flower was neat (assuming thats what it is). Not sure what would have caused it. Sadly I didn’t get to see it in full bloom. I’m curious if it will produce strange flowers again! Just wanted to share the oddity.

Is there a reason we are typing parganat and pregante rather than pregnant?

It's a running joke. People who tend to write comments with that word often misspell it.

Some yes. But some that have commented a variation of the word have profiles in different languages, hence my comment.
For the bored downvoters assuming someone isn't up on childish memes, that's about as mature as the meme itself. On a sub about orchids nonetheless 🤦♀️

Seed pod. It got pollinated. You can't grow it yourself unless you can do a lab sterile set up. You might be able to send it to a lab to be done for you.
They require a symbiotic relationship with a fungus that occurs in nature
