A few years ago a friend gave me a white orchid. I was surprisedby how easy care for it was- water once a week by filling up the outer pot, drain after half an hour. Every other week it is fed with a weak orchid food in the water, same method, and it blooms and blooms. Another friend moved away and left a shriveled and sorry looking orchid behind- by treatiing it the same as my other one, it is now blooming regularly too - orange. Yet another person saw me looking at orchids at the grocery store and gave me a pink one- you can see where this is going!
Now I have a total of five- white, orange, pink, lemon yellow, and lavendar spotted, and they go nicely with my one purple and white ruffled African violet. They all bloom and bloom, literally for months on end. Take up two windowsills, but are the best for cheering me up in some of the dreary weather here.
