Unfortunately my hubby loves and grow only the exotic and species orchids, the small and the dainty. I just have to really learn to love... :)ROUGH.ROSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053808296314754986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-51192203476937633342010-12-03T01:18:42.318+08:002010-12-03T01:18:42.318+08:00I get asked all the time about getting orchids bac...I get asked all the time about getting orchids back into flower and I always tell them that it's a drop in room temperature that does it.

Wow.. you got sharp eyes!!!<br /><br />Malar - I too thought so, perhaps you should experiment with dove orchids (they seemed to grow on trees and everywhere) The hybrids are better - they can really stand all the abuse and still bloom. The best is they are very cheap. Don't go for slipper orchids, moth orchids or those exotic ones..<br /><br />Thank you everyone for your kind comments.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-18923822552388846882010-11-30T09:51:48.701+08:002010-11-30T09:51:48.701+08:00Orchid do have a pretty bloom!
