Very nice shots! My wife has a roon full of orchids. The plant look healthy, but getting them to bloom is an arduous task. Any advice?? Your blooms are beautiful! Thx Clipper.
Thanks for looking and the compliment.
When they're (these are Phaleanopsis) not blooming, they like northern light. The other key is neglect (don't water too often). I water mine every 3-4 weeks by pouring lots of warm water on them, let them sit for a couple of minutes and then dump out any excess water that isn't absorbed by the potting mix (bark).

I checked out a site called orchidweb.com. There's better advice on that site than I can give.

These aren't exactly spring flowers since they seem to thrive in my kitchen regardless of the weather. I thought I post them for those of you who are still hoping for that white stuff to melt and a chance to put your parkas away.
I use these on the covers of greeting cards, so they're edited for that purpose.
The petals and dew were images that caught my eye yesterday. I thought they were interesting.
