A few photos of my orchids for Garden Tuesday. Post may contain affiliate links.
I have always thought that orchids were so pretty. They looked so elegant. I expected them to be difficult to grow. One mother's day several years ago, my middle daughter surprised me with one. I imagined that soon after blooming it would die, and that would be that.
Surprisingly enough after blooming, I cut off the stem and kept it watered. Guess what?! It bloomed again. It's still blooming regularly now many years later. I am now the proud owner of 4 orchid plants. They all bloom regularly and never cease to amaze me with their beauty.
Mine were all picked up on impulse at the grocery store! I can't walk by them without stopping to admire. If you've been thinking about trying some, go ahead. They aren't difficult, this book sounds pretty interesting, The Orchid Whisperer: Expert Secrets for Growing Beautiful Orchids.

I got an orchid for Christmas of 2014. The blooms lasted a long time, and it finally decided to grow one more leaf about 2 months ago. No more flowers, just long stalks and one new leaf.

So pretty! My poor garden is almost fried from the heat. The weeds are thriving however. Perhaps I can set a new trend?

They are beautiful. I have always heard they were difficult so I never tried to grow one.
