The Orchid Collection

When the sun comes through the window and shines upon my orchids I feel grateful to be alive. The petals sparkle in the sun as if calling out for attention and the colors can't be beat.




Most of the year, while my orchids are sleeping, they surround my tub and soak up the humidity that spills over the shower wall. It's as if they're collecting their magic for when the time to bloom comes. As they begin to bloom I bring them down to the kitchen so I can enjoy them all day. The bright sun and humidity from washing dishes keeps them happy.



The bloom season is long with flowers opening one by one. The tallest plant has been blooming since the day before Thanksgiving when I purchased it. The other orchids are in their second or third season of bloom. Orchids are an excellent value for this reason - they will reward you again and again if you don't over-water them.





Enjoy! Diana ;)
