After a summer of record heat and a fall of record drought, this orchid still found the energy to bloom. The orchids live on my deck in the shade of an oak tree and only come inside in very cold weather.
It is stunning. I may need to ask you how you manage that. I feel the one I have may be neglected and since we Live in similar climates you may have some good advice for me! Gorgeous photo, Diane
@grammyn I don't have much advice! I keep the orchids outside in a shady place and water them occasionally if it's dry and feed them when I remember. When it's cold, I bring them inside, but they don't like the dry heat. I did lose one this summer. My sister-in-law in Maine grows amazing orchids, but up there they are inside plants and require an organized schedule of care.
