Orchids

I am now caring for five orchid plants. Three of them are Phalaenopsis orchids, another is a Cattleya, and the last is an impressive Vanda orchid.

One of my phalaenopsis has had two keiki's on it for the past couple months. The Cattleya that I got from my local hardware store had roots that were bone dry, and took several months to finally start growing has pt out a couple new growths, but still hasn't bloomed. It was advertised as having bright orange blossoms. The Vanda came with large, brilliant purple blooms, but has since dropped them all.

Blooming Euphorbias

I noticed today that a couple of my Euphorbias are in bloom!

Budding Hoya!

I have only gotten one Hoya to bloom before, and so this slow growing plant had be very excited when I finally noticed this!
