Description
My white and dark pink orchids, Pink Orchids, a Conch Shell, frosted glass window, and a lovely little corner for my orchids. These are orchids that have been given to me in the past. I keep them and wait for them to bloom for me again and with a bit of orchid food they bloom again and again and again. The larger White and Pink centered Orchid has 10 blooms on that one spike. They usually like a moist climate and indirect sunshine but in this dry climate they survive in a South facing window with some defused sunlight coming in through the frosted glass in our main Bath. I think they like it when we shower or bath. I spray them occasional, also.My white and dark pink orchids, Pink Orchids, a Conk Shell, frosted glass window, and a lovely little corner for my orchids. These are orchids that have been given to me in the past. I keep them and wait for them to boom for me again and again. The larger White and Pink centered Orchid has 10 blooms on that one spike. The FAA Watermark will not appear on your beautifully finished product.***

Phyllis Kaltenbach replied:
Thank you , so very much, Sir Gordon! I have not been out of the house for days, except for taking our kitty out, in the back yard, to sit in the sun a couple of times a day. Our "Over 60" children are getting everything for us, which is a bit of a worry, buy we are all OK, so far, thank the good lord. The last of the larger White orchid gave up today after bringing me so much pleasure for over 3 Months! But the other 2 are still beautiful! Hope all is well with you and yours. Please stay safe.

Thank you, Kirt, very much. These beautiful blooms have been with me all winter long. The larger white and pink ones are just beginning to drop. I have really enjoyed them. This winter has seemed so long to me and my orchids have been a great joy!

Thank you, very much, Donna. The larger ones have been blooming for a minimum of 2, or (maybe 3) months, since the first bloom. I just love them!

Thank you, kind Sir! I really do enjoy my Orchids. I used to raise many Orchids when we live across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Now, this dry climate makes it a real challenge! Smiles! Have a wonderful week-end!
