This first time I got orchids was from my wedding. 4 in total and yes, I killed them! So sad. Too much water and not enough light. Glad it didn't turn out to be a life trend for me. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you have a pretty good instinct with plants!Asian Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140513227217324236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-63586077401657978232007-06-13T21:47:00.000-05:002007-06-13T21:47:00.000-05:00I love orchids...what other flower can you buy for...I love orchids...what other flower can you buy for 12-20 dollars and have it look great for 2 months? I consider them investments! And when they die (and with me, they will, no doubt about it) I don't feel guilty--I pass them on to a friend that loves to nurture them back so everyone wins!ellie beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942993108764099246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-12322015496797901452007-06-13T20:36:00.000-05:002007-06-13T20:36:00.000-05:00ooooh the tomatoes look fabulous!ooooh the tomatoes look fabulous!flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-8516735331674411632007-06-13T18:01:00.000-05:002007-06-13T18:01:00.000-05:00I don’t have a green thumb either; however, I am a...I don’t have a green thumb either; however, I am able to grow roses.

Good pea!<BR/><BR/>Super Des--it might be your temperatures. Some orchids need it to get super cold at night in order to start the blooms. Maybe crank up the AC for a few days and see what happens. :) Not that I would know because I'm NOT an expert...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I joined www.orchidboard.com --Super nice people.Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903668054657873042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-56997013806055340352007-06-13T13:56:00.000-05:002007-06-13T13:56:00.000-05:00I love moth orchids.And I love your poetic turn of...I love moth orchids.<BR/><BR/>And I love your poetic turn of phrase:<BR/>"But mine were on sale for $9.99 at the grocery store on a table next to the potatoes."<BR/><BR/>It made me laugh.Helhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151484041306013384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-59874254837597119922007-06-13T12:14:00.000-05:002007-06-13T12:14:00.000-05:00I have never tried orchids- they intimidate me.

It could also be over fertilized and needs a rest. If this is the case just give it some more time and eventually you'll see a shoot come up.LittlePeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890731735785145148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29734230.post-86513571218189400092007-06-13T10:23:00.000-05:002007-06-13T10:23:00.000-05:00I have an orchid plant.

The plant itself is perfectly healthy - it just doesn't bloom.<BR/><BR/>I'm jealous of yours. And your tomatoes.super deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347176046518919059noreply@blogger.com
