Orchids in Bloom...
Took this picture last Sunday of one of the orchids that is in bloom in our backyard. It has lived permanently in our backyard since we moved in. I bought it about four years ago at the SF Orchid Show at Fort Mason. It blooms around this same time every year, and the blooms last for a long time. Orchids are so easy to grow, and the number of varieties is impressive.
My secrets:
- Water thoroughly once a week.
- Let the orchid dry out completely between waterings
- Never expose to direct sunlight
- For blooms, there must be a temperature gradiation between night and day (meaning that orchids housed indoors at consistent temps will NOT bloom).

Keep taking your flower photos. I'm still using the awesome rose one you posted last year to get me through the winter months. This one is a strong contender to replace it for a little while...
Will do. :)
