Before the beautiful flowers fade and drop, i wanted to share some pictures of several of my orchids that have been blooming since February. The flower spikes usually show up in late October/November and it takes about 4 months before the flowers will open, but once they do, you're rewarded by months of amazingly beautiful blossoms. They add inspiration to my windowsill and are a wonder-filled segue to Spring.
These two cymbidiums were given to me by my Mom. This one has huge flowers that are about five inches across:

ReplyDeleteThose orchids are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they bloomed so much. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your green thumb...right now I can't even keep a cactus alive. And those are pretty tough plants :(
ReplyDeleteYour orchids are beautiful Kate, I would love to know if you feed them anything special to get them to bloom. Ours are looking great and green but no blooms even after 3 years... Is there a secret??
ReplyDeleteLucky you...
