orchids

it's so romantic at the conservatory.  they charge professional photographers to use it.  i can imagine wedding parties here in their finery.
summer with the flowers.
i can see how complex and beautiful they are, 
but don't know the varieties or anything about 
growing them.  
orchid fan?

  2. I love orchids when you can see them in a hot house environment. You can really see all the different kinds and it's amazing what a miracle of nature they are with their shapes and colors. Teri

  3. I'm also a huge orchid fan. They are very temperamental. They don't like too much water, direct sun light, or water on their leaves. They love a warm, steamy environment. On a windowsill by the kitchen sink, this spot has proven beneficial. I usually buy them and end up throwing them out when all the flowers fall off. However, I have now owned one for three years and have gotten it to flower twice. That's no small feat for me. Beautiful photos of some different varieties.
