Any orchid hobbyist?

Forgot to add in my posting about orchids that this is my first time participating in a dscussion......dorothy

I absolutely love orchids. I bought four of them when I was in Florida visiting my daughter. I live in upstate NY and they are doing absolutely wonderful.

I love orchids. I usually have several. Fairly easy to grow with proper care.

Susan, thank you for loving orchids as I do! In Hawaii, beginning in March, the honohono (dendrobium specie) bloom, bloom and bloom in different colors, shapes and give off the most exotic scent ever! My orchids grow in the backyard! If you visit me, I'd pick blossoms for you to pin on your head! The photo attached are diffent honohono in one pot.

Welcome to discussions Dorothy! I love your orchids!! They're just gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen that type of orchid before in bloom.

I'm not lucky enough to grow mine outside. In upstate NY it gets pretty cold. This morning it is only 18 degrees out so mine are in my house in a south window where the sun gets to them everyday, when there is sun! LOL Matter of fact I reconstructed the sill to make it wider so that I had ample room to put my plants there.

That is beautiful! I'd love to visit Hawaii, but can't afford it at this time. I also have a plumeria. the fragrance on that is amazing too. I have to grow my orchids inside here. I bet yours are wonderful!

I have grown orchids for 40 years, first in CT on my windowsill , then for 16 years in the Florida Keys outside year round. I'm now in Savannah , outside Spring, Summer and Fall and back inside for our fairly short winter. I am a member of The Deep South Orchid Society . I recommend joining a nearby orchid society. Most large cities have one. You get to meet new friends and definitely get a ton of knowledge, and get to see their beautiful orchids they bring to our meetings.

We are lucky to have our meetings at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens,

where we have a large collection of members orchids in the greenhouse . We are looking forward to our annual Orchid Show April 28-30.

Just visited the Orchid Show at Botanical Gardens in Atlanta,Ga.Home of the national Orchid Society. Of course they are in the Greenhouses, but many,many varieties,beautiful colors, shapes,histories,backgrounds, a real lesson on Orchids.

The show is here every late Feb. to early March. My daughter and I love Orchids.

Hers are in bloom now.

This is my first time participating. I love orchids,but never tried growing them. I would really like to learn all about growing them and how to take care of them.

I live in SWFL, have a screened in lanai with a western view and eager to learn all about orchids.

I love orchids! I am really wanting to learn to grow them. However, I live in Arizona. Is it possible to grow them inside, even in a dry climate????

My first orchid just bloomed again after 3 years of keeping me company in the kitchen where it gets indirect light and moisture when it needs it. I intent to read more about orchids, but never seem to remember when I get online! Mine is white. It is the ony orchid I have ever owned - but it feels more ike a pet than a plant!

I love orchids and thanks for the picture of your orchids. They are beautiful. I have good and bad luck with some orchids. I live in Florida and I keep them on an pergola all year long.

love orchis. my hono only has five blooms...but happy I have them

Debby, I'm not sure if you received the comments that I started earlier but went off the screen .......anyway, the rainy and cool climate in my town is to the liking of the honohono . Honohono go into a dormant stage and therefore, I do not fertilize and do not water much from December thru February........good luck, Dorothy

I have 4 different orchids; a creamy white one, a yellow one and 2 pinky purple ones--I keep them in a south window and they get an ice cube every sunday! From Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the color! Wish my green thumb hadn't turned brown... :( I'd love to try my hand at them.

Hi there

I too have become an orchid lover. I have a blooming phalenopsis right now. I buy almost dead orchids from the grocery store and try to revive them. I have about six right now. They all appear to be happy as they all have green shoots coming out. Is that a good sign? I'm not sure if I should be staking them.

Suggestions would be great!

Patty-Scottsdale, Az
