Orchids dont need much watering at all but take a lot of persuasion to re-flower. Good luck!Quietly Otakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163867249259070785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-60667447250060840132011-03-20T10:08:26.685-04:002011-03-20T10:08:26.685-04:00Beautiful orchid.

Don't sweat about it too much. They mostly want to be appreciated.Patricia Griffin Ceramicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205981725964222971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-36139222537404194552011-03-19T15:27:14.057-04:002011-03-19T15:27:14.057-04:00Oh Jim... lots to think of and I do feel a respons...Oh Jim... lots to think of and I do feel a responsibility to this plant... seems I need to figure out if we can live together in my dark cold house...cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-47825702276246768232011-03-19T10:06:56.946-04:002011-03-19T10:06:56.946-04:00hi meredith,
what a beautiful gift of remembrance....hi meredith,<br />what a beautiful gift of remembrance. those orchids are a finicky lot and will not like being ignored like the venerable african violet. i used to give my ex-wife a different kind of orchid every year for valentine's because out in the country outside of town were these orchid growers... they had 4 giant greenhouse filled with all kinds and i guess they used to breed new ones. anyway, the ex killed them all slowly and of course the house helped. they need much humidity and much watering and no soil. probably need a shallow (handmade) plate under the pot with a pool of water to increase the local humidity. hope you're doing wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-69467261781450146022011-03-18T21:11:05.281-04:002011-03-18T21:11:05.281-04:00Beautiful flowers, gives me Spring fever for sure!...Beautiful flowers, gives me Spring fever for sure! Wesley's violet is hanging in there, but she forgets that watering is important every now and then, glad they don't mind getting dried out :)Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-4433158861322090182011-03-18T19:58:03.579-04:002011-03-18T19:58:03.579-04:00You always seem to get the best volunteers from yo...You always seem to get the best volunteers from your compost, things just seem to grow around you. I can only hope that one day, when I grow up, I will be at least a little bit like you. Maybe then the plants will love me too. heheKellie Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553319207023592104noreply@blogger.com
