New Orchid .....

striking colour

Thanx Irish :D

Lovely and so delicate.

Hi Jacque. I hope that you enjoy growing orchids as much as I do. They're so beautiful and this variety is especially easy to care for. It looks like the flower blossom on the far right might dry up and fall off. Actually, looking at the date you posted this pic, it probably already happened. Don't fret though, that sometime happens to me when I get a new one. I think that it's the shock of a new environment. They come from the nursery where they're in ideal environments, and then to my home where it's much too hot and dry. They like hummidity. I've been told to place pebbles in a saucer and fill with water to where pebble tops are still dry and place orchid on top for humidty. They also don't like to get their "feet" wet. Their roots will rot if standing in water. Good luck to you. This one's a nice color :)
