It's always been a big disappointment to me that every time I've bought an orchid in a pot it had looked beautiful for a while then lost its flowers then rarely flowered again. I've two healthy plants kept upstairs as just leaves didn't warrent public display, one flowered in January after quite a few dormant years but the other didn't, I may even have blogged about it as I was quite excited.
When sisterS bought me a new orchid just before our holiday in August I did warn her that I'd do my very best, however....
Well as you can see not only is it still in beautiful bloom but it is producing more buds all the time :-)
AND maybe it had brought me orchid luck as both of the original plants have produced three new stalks each all covered in buds. I've checked on them every day (sometimes twice) for what seems like weeks now, waiting for the first flower.
We go on holiday Sunday so I guess it will all happen while we are away!

We had my uncle to stay last week and he came bearing gifts from my aunt. I got an orchid. It is flowering splendiferously right now but I also end up with leafy orchids most of the time so determined to enjoy the blooms now before they fade.
So glad the little orchid is doing so well and sending good vibes to her relatives upstairs! XXX
First flower opened upstairs today **big grin**
