Here are the roots of the orchid happily blooming in the Teachers Room. Although it creates the impression of a gnarled and tortured plant, check out my other album to see how lovely the flowers are. http://365project.org/allie912/365/2012-11-08
This looks like mine facing west, which did well until 2 years ago. Have had it since 1993 but guess it lost its will to live. However I still have the green stems just no flowers. Will check your other album ;-)
