Cynthia, your orchid is beautiful. I hope I have am lucky enough to get mine to bloom.
I was at Home Depot yesterday and it looked like they just got in a shipment of Orchids and they were all in bloom, I fell in love with a bright purple one but I…
Thanks Cynthia, Do you pack it tight or loose? I picked up a couple pots and a bark mixture yesterday and was planning on transplanting this weekend. They both are happy in the tank, I guess I accomplished getting a tropical tank.
Robin,

Hi Asherah, Your photographs are beautiful - what a wonderful space you have! I can't imagine being able to grow orchids in my back yard - too cold and windy.

I'm fairly new to orchids, and have had reasonably good luck with them so far, but there's lots I don't know yet, and have lost a few. I hope I can pick up some "education" from you and potential new members...
