| I love that color! Very healthy orchid! Nice picture!! |

| My Burana Beauties are blooming right now also. The panhandle has had LOTS of rain this summer and all my outdoor orchids are doing really well. Lots of blooms but will soon have to go into the greenhouse since late October will bring temps too low to leave outside. Thanks for showing yours.... |

| That does look very healthy. Is it growing in a pot in that timber box, or is it straight on that timber? |

| I must say J has a lot of beautiful orchids. |
|
| All these pictures of orchids have me drooling. They are just lovely. :o) Keep the photos coming. |
|
| Wow! J is a master in the orchid world! Silvia |
|
| I was wondering what fertilizer she uses? |
|
| WOW!!! I've got lots of plants, orchids that I got and they finished blooming and I hang them out in the tree, most of them live but so far no more blooms, there must be something you folks are doing to get them to bloom like that! Please share your secrets! thanx, sally |
|
| "better gro" 11-35-15 puts it in a spray bottle and mists them.....i'm just typing as she's telling me.....:~) |
|
| Hi Here is a hybrid of "kasims delight" strap vanda . Not so many flowers but very large and 5 inches wide . Very prolific also . Third time this year gary |
|
| Thanks Walli, I do use Better Gro in a spray-bottle, when I think of it (ahem) and have put some Osmocote pellets in the bark.... but I'm learning, not very much apparently.... most of what I have are Dens and Phals and prob. they are going thru' their natural cycle which is not very often... acc. to what I am reading.. I am just not patient enough and most of them are fairly newly acquired...goess I should just be happy they are still alive! I have some Vandas also and love when those long roots turn green, I put them out from under the tree-branches, out on a trellis in more sun, acc. to what I read they need full sun? the sprinklers hit them better there also....thanks again, MERRY CHRISTMAS....sally |

  jewels will be next! |
|
| Hi What kind of Cymbidiums??. have always wanted to try them but afraid of the cold period but I know there are heat tolerants. is this the normal flower period? gary |
|
| Mark, that jewel orchid is lovely. I've tried to grow it several times and have killed it. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Some said it doesn't want much water, did you find that to be true? |
|
| Kat, I've had a similar experience with the jewel Orchid. Mine is in a 3" pot and has two leaves, the same number it's had for the 2 years I've owned it. I have NO IDEA what to do to make it grow! |
|
| my wife treats them like a regular orchid, bark, misting, ect...i treat them like a tropical. all the cuttings are in potting soil in filtered sun. i water the heck out of them, but they drain real good. i have an 18 pack started for spring, propagate real easy. took one to silvia's party last fall, not sure who got it....:) |
|
| M Thank you, I went to look at my plants this morning and I am the happy owner of your beautiful plants. I don't know how I have two, lol.
Silvia |
|
| glad you got it! good trade!...m |
