Rachel's Journal

Lovely Rachel, how many Orchids do you actually have?

Lovely photo Rachel, you must have a fantastic collection at this stage! would love you to put up an album of your collection......

Lots, Bill : )

Dave, there is an album. If you look under my photos and go to the 11th line, the orchid album is the one on the far right of the 11th line.

Great, well done you.

Wow, brilliant photo with the dark background too. It shows them off even better.

Thanks.

Lovely colours, Rachel.

Beautiful really brighten up a wild day.

lovely flowers. its amazing how you get them to flowers for you..

Beautiful, do they flower every year?

Lovely flower, only had one orchid once and killed it, well done on all the flowers.

Love this,and happy for you!!!

Ruth, it depends which ones you are talking about. Not all orchids flower every year. Phalaenopsis seem to just keep going and are always flowering or making new spikes. In the photo, the Dendrobium 'Berry Oda' and Laeliocattleya 'Coastal Sunrise' have flowered every year although it is only year 2 for 'Coastal Sunrise' so maybe I shouldn't generalise yet : ) It's my firsts flowering for Coelygne and Ludisia.

Oncidiums seem to flower regularly every year or sometimes a bit more than than.
