My Prettiest Orchid

My prettiest orchid has reflowered for me.

I bought it last year at the Orchid Fair in the Botanic Gardens in full flower.

And now it has re-flowered. Happy days.

By the way, it looks like this year's Orchid Fair is not going ahead.

What a flower. You must have some technique about orchids Rachel. What I missed more than any when I met you at your home last summer was your orchids.

Beautiful. How come the Orchid is cancelled? You must be devastated.

Rachel 06 February 2011 12:27:19

When you come again this summer, I will bring them all down for you to view, Dick. But, in truth, at any given time, most are not in flower.

No idea, Jacinta. People, huh!

Looks lovely Rachel, my one orchid was a gift but the person who gave it to me visited a year later recently and it was still flowering, what great little plants they are :-)

Rachel 06 February 2011 13:20:40

phals are the only ones that will do that, Bill. But well done!

I did'nt realise that Rachel, and I'm sure my success has more to do with the orchid than me :-)

Rachel 07 February 2011 21:07:33

Alot of people manage to kill them, Bill. You're doing great.
