Beautiful,Paul.you seem to have a knack with Orchids..

It's beautiful! Your Phalaenopsis is a head of mine. You probably fertilizer it. I never fertilize my orchid. My plant will flower for 6 or 7 months, though. I just cut the flower spike in half and now it sending out another branch from the old spike with buds.

I'm waiting for my Dendrobium kingianum in my back yard under my guava tree to flower. It usually starts budding now. Maybe I should try fertilizing it. LOL!

You are lucky to be able to grow these outside. Yes, it's probably due for a good feeding.

Most of the time I would put my orchids outside after they bloom and bring them indoors when they're in flower. I'm going to fertilize now that we're receiving some real rains.

The long, extreme drought has killed many of my orchids and several other plants, though. :>( Even my Plumeria trees, which are extremely drought tolerant were suffering last summer. The branches were shriveling up or breaking. I was giving most plants reclaimed water from the shower and kitchen sink. It just wasn't enough. Now, with the recent rains that we've had everything is starting to look really good again. :>)

colorful and impressive :-)
