The first must surely be, Lori - Many Congratulations! X

Just put the orchid down into the greenhouse as it's finished bloomng. They do bloom for a long period of time don't they.

Pretty colour Lori.....

Yes, Milky there seems to be an endless variety, aye? THanks David... How long will your orchid rest Lindak? I'm dreaming of a greenhouse...maybe by next spring!

The orchid I have is one that an elderly lady threw out and so I cut it back, repotted it in special orchid bark compost and cut the dead brown roots off then made sure that some of the green arial roots were sticking out at the top and it started to grow again and flower at the end. I know nothing about the plants at all as this is new to me Lori and I looked up about orchids on the www. Now it's going off again I shall cut it back again and hope it grows.

As you say the first is always special, like your first child?

Lori:

Great bloom! It looks like it has many more buds ready to open. : > )
