As I was outside the other morning giving the Orchids a drink I found a cool suprise. One of the rescued Orchid plants has decided to make her initial formal appearance just in time for Christmas. I had not even noticed her bloom spike growing before nor has this Orchid bloomed since I got her back in July.
The flower is about the sise of a half dollar coin and very petite.
I am not positive as to the type of Orchid this is yet. But it is going on my evergrowing research list.
Somehow I now have 17 Orchids. Each has it's own special needs which I am trying to learn.
The best part is that this Orchid was free from off of freecycle.
Here is a link from a past post from when I got her.
Check out Freecycle in your area it might be worth your effort.

I'll teach you roses, if you teach me orchids!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty little orchid and now seems to be the time they shine with very little attention.
ReplyDeleteWish I could help you with the name but I'm not so good with orchids. So sorry I didn't respond when you asked about the tomato I was growing. I think that one is a Better Boy but I can't recall now. There are several tomatoes on that bush and so far I'm pretty happy with it.
Your birdies keeping you company in your garden are really sweet.

Jim,
ReplyDeleteYou would really be getting short changed on that deal.Folks keep giving me their Orchids.
I have 17 now and still trying to figure out what they all are and how to take care of them.
