It’s that time of year again, our beautiful 18 year old orchid is flowering. I was given this orchid by my mother-in-law 18 years ago on Jenna’s birth day. It is the most gorgeous plant and always has abundant blooms for about 3 months of the year. It’s actually quite amazing because orchids usually need special care, not this one. It stands in a large pot on our front stoep year after year, all we do really is water it once in a while and that’s it!
PS I’m not quite sure where my Creative Friday post from yesterday has gone to but it’s simply disappeared and cannot be found…hmmmm…
Have a lovely Mothers Day tomorrow!
Wow! What a gorgeous orchid. Thank you for sharing it.
Have a delightful Mother’s Day with your lovely family. xx
How lucky you are to have the climate your gorgeous orchid prospers in. I have several Phalaenopsis orchids in a small window box. I’m trying to move to the smaller varieties to make things more manageable in my small space. Conditions are not ideal but I do occasionally manage to get them to rebloom more than once. These are easy to grow and their common name is moth orchid. I am so fond of them because over forty-five years ago for my wedding I carried a bouquet of white moth orchids and ivy.
