My Orchids – updated 7/22/15
I have many orchids. I keep notes on them to stay organized. I keep them on humidity trays in a large window seat in my living room.
Here are pictures of the ones that I have the longest. This is not by any means all the orchids that cycle threw my house. I “save,” (I am given many orchids – that are done blooming and did not sell – by local florist) repot and giveaway a ton each year. So, check back because I will be updating this post, as they bloom. This post is mostly for me so I can see what my orchids look like through the years:)
