It grew into the trunk bark of it's own volition. The only problem is I can't remove it in the event of a Hurricane or freeze so it has to survive or not on it's own.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-30138848228855765932010-01-17T05:28:08.843-05:002010-01-17T05:28:08.843-05:00How do you attach an orchid to a tree?How do you attach an orchid to a tree?Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-34234090285828922662010-01-16T16:28:03.575-05:002010-01-16T16:28:03.575-05:00Meems,

Tomatoes and squash will be going up in price because of the freeze soon.<br /> I have attatched several of the Orchids to the tree and they like it there. They get the filtered light which they seem to like.Whatever it is they continue to grow and bloom without much attention to their care. My kind of plant!sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-72855537137284153672010-01-16T16:17:43.030-05:002010-01-16T16:17:43.030-05:00Deborah,

First thing you know there everywhere and folks believe you are an Orchid expert and give you more. Quite bizzare actually. Not that I'm complaining.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-71029035397531992512010-01-15T22:57:17.936-05:002010-01-15T22:57:17.936-05:00Sanddune,

But it is still amazing that it got cold enough to hurt plants so far south. <br /><br />Those orchids are a delight. I must remember to put some of mine in the oak trees this spring~~right now they just sit underneath them. I think they would like it up higher and I could see them better too. I wonder if the squirrels will bother them there though.<br /><br />We drove over to the beach this afternoon... ahhh, that sunshine is so much nicer than old man winter.<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-36475501361165284542010-01-15T17:21:50.827-05:002010-01-15T17:21:50.827-05:00I'm beginning to think i need an orchid, thoug...I'm beginning to think i need an orchid, though i know I don't have a window with enough sunlight - all of my gardening is outdoors. But your orchids are so lovely. You are making me jealous!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.com
