A bit of a treat!

Ooh, this makes a change for me, I am the first comment! I couldn't have resisted this either, Sticki, even if my houseplants do have a tendency to meet an early demise in my hands....sob! This is gorgeous!!\0/x

Photo doesnt do it justice! It is a beauty! Its in the kitchen at the moment ~ where i spend most of my time, maybe it will go in the lounge later?

It will brighten up any room it goes into, Sticki...it is a beauty! I love yellow flowers, always makes me think that Spring is just around the corner....It will look a treat in your new lounge...\0/x

oh dear, my photo is not good then ~ its a white flower with that fuchsia pink coloured centre!!!!

Cameras do strange things with colours... lol.
pretty flowers ...:o)

what camera do you use TT? ive noticed your photos are always beautifully clear and bright.

Hi Terra! Wow! This really did look yellow to me...oops! Maybe it's me....Sorry, Sticki !!! :~((((

not you ~ i used flash cos it wasnt working without very well. perhaps ive worn the camera out! its a pure white flower. i shall try again tomorrow!

beautifull bargain sticki :o)

i thought it was a bargain and so did the nice lady who was on the tills ~ perhaps i should have titled this ~ how much would you pay?
but perhaps the price isnt the most important ~ its how much pleasure it gives.

Then it would be absolutely priceless, Sticki! Hi San!!\0/x

exactly flori!! thanks.

You are so welcome my friend \0/XXX

What a beautiful delight and gorgeous colour to you had a bargain what ever it was.

I agree with 6d, this is a gorgeous colour,

Beautiful Sticki, I wouldn't resist either....
Try to take another picture so we can see the real color of it. It sounds gorgeous white with fuchsia pink center.

Beautiful and I would have found it difficult to resist too :)

Beautiful Orchid and so many flowers a real bargain!

it's a good sharp picture ST despite the camera's brain not processing the white, happens to the best of us. Pop it outside & take a shot or two with natural daylight. Also, for real stunning effect hold the plant up with one hand & take the shot with blue sky behind the flowers. Now this is'nt always possible so popping the plant on a step ladder will be better. Sounds overly fussy I know but blue sky background & white flowers make frameable photo's.

Beautiful! Love the colour too!

thank you everyone and thanks bampy thats a lovely idea - i love blue sky so i shall definitely try that, but its below freezing here today so i think i may need to wait for it to warm up??

nice phal good colours.

I love that one, a gorgeous colour.

i only hope i can keep it alive - ive bought some orchid food.

make sure you don't over feed/water it sticky, good luck :o)

water it once a week and let it drain? not sure about feeding?

in the growing period once a week not during rest period, give it a spray mist once a day if you can and wipe the leaves to keep off dust, once flowers have faded, cut above the node on flower stalk and you'll get a second show of flowers in a few months, happy orchid growing sticky ;-)

many thanks ~ ive copied that into my gardening advice folder!

your very welcome, good luck with them :o)

:o)

What a beauty, sorry Sticki It looks yellow to me as well, I think me and Flori must be seeing things.

Sorry Tl this is not a good photo.

Well I think it's a great photo. :0))

i think the photo before was a bit whiter, i think its probably the kitchen lights??

thanks tulsalady
