Description
This is a 3rd in the series of my Mermaid painting combined in a photo of my most recent orchids. As I have said before, we live in a very dry climate and orchids like a damp climate. For some reason, we apparently have discovered that the orchids (and our fern) love the climate in our South facing bathroom (around the bathtub) with just the right amount of indirect light shining in on them! The FAA watermark will not show on any of the finished products! *

The painting makes a lovely background for your beautiful orchids, mine has not bloomed again even though in a southwest window with lots of indirect light. They are so temperamental. You are luck to have found the right spot for them. LF
Phyllis Kaltenbach replied:
Thank you, Angela. I use 1/4 teaspoon of Orchid food in a gallon of water and I give them a little when ever I think of it. That is probably once a year, maybe twice. Smiles!

Wow! This is gorgeous.
Phyllis Kaltenbach replied:
Thank you, so very much, Joe. I have 3 different ones in bloom now. Smiles.
