I must confess that I have a dream that involves orchids. I would love to have a greenhouse one day and grow orchids and other beautiful flowers. I would have row upon row of Guy Wolff pots waiting on a sturdy wooden potting bench. While I'm dreaming, I would love a dry sink and a pretty cafe set to enjoy coffee or tea amongst the plants. As the orchids begin to bud, I'd bring them in our home to enjoy.
Just when I think I've found my favorite orchid, I see another variety and love that one, too. I admit I tend to be drawn to the white ones, but I've seen some bright yellow ones with red stamen that I also love.
Do you cultivate orchids in your home? How high is the learning curve? We're never too old to learn, are we...
Until next time...
Blessings!

Hello from Logan Martin Lake! I've had 3 orchids for a few years now. When I first received them I watched a few you tube videos and they've been doing fine. At the moment one is blooming and 2 have buds on them. I keep them near a window (mine don't get full sun) and water once a week. One funny thing is they have some air roots and sometimes it's hard to tell a root from a spike. But there are you tube videos about that too. I hope you give it a try!
