Orchid

My daughter bought me my first ever orchid for Mother's Day this year. When it finished flowering I thought I would have to wait another year for it to bloom again! As you can see I was wrong - it currently has 4 flowers and at least 2 buds!

pretty colours in that orchid - and yes, that one does mostly keep flowering - it's the version I've got on my bathroom windowsill

Beautiful colours. Mine only flower once and then go to the great garden in the sky.

@shannew ooh that sounds promising
@dalboy. That made me lol :-)

Gorgeous! I love the transparency, it makes the flower look electric.

@gnilrets Thank you it's still trial and error for me so first I placed this on the floor, then on the brown leather settee and finally on the window sill the effect is definately more by good luck than good measure!
