Do you grow orchids? My daughter got me one several years ago for Mother’s Day. I always thought they were difficult to grow, it turns out they aren’t. Now I have 4 orchids, which is great because it seems like at least one of them is always blooming. This deep pink one is one of my favorites. I sat it down on the floor to try and get a better photo of the blooms. Well, you know what that means.
Someone decided she had to come help me with the photos. Amazingly enough both Coco and Luxie pretty much leave my orchids alone. I’ve probably jinxed myself and I’ll come home from the grocery store today and find these blooms every where! Before growing any plant, I always make sure that they are non toxic to cats, and I was very pleased to discover that orchids are just fine!!

January 18, 2016 at 5:35 pmI’m so jealous. I always kill my orchids with kindness (i.e., too much water). No matter how much I tell myself to avoid watering, I can’t help it and they wither away.

January 17, 2016 at 10:12 pmOur old cat-Penelope would love to play with the orchids-knocking them off.

January 17, 2016 at 4:40 pmI love orchids,too. For whatever reason, they are one of the only flowers that our cats leave alone.

January 17, 2016 at 10:17 amBeautiful orchid and kitty. I didn’t know they were non-toxic to cats- that is good.

January 16, 2016 at 7:54 pmMy son gave me one about a month ago and it is doing great. It’s about the same color as yours here. I just lost one finally after about 4 years. It would die, I would take off the dead buds and leaves, then just kept watering it and before you know it, it was blooming again…a good investment I think for color all year round.

January 16, 2016 at 7:08 pmWe can’t have pretty flowers in the house because we always wanna mess with them.

January 20, 2016 at 6:58 amSame here. My cat played with every plant in the house until they were completely destroyed. But that’s ok, because I really suck at gardening 🙂
