New orchid and repotting

My Lovely new orchid, picked up in the garden centre today for a mere 3 quid. The bark was mushy and waterlogged and the plant had no more buds on it and I assume for these reasons it was going cheap. I snapped it up and repotted in some some large bark chips a couple of hours after I got it home.






At the same time I also repotted my fabulous purple orchid. I was loath to repot it while the plant is still covered in flowers. BUT it came potted in moss which is now green and attracting flies plus the orchid is doing so well it is bursting out of the pot. So I risked it and potted this in a larger pot in bark.
