So here's an interesting Sept. 2020 lecture from Dr. Anthony Fauci. In case you don't have the facts about this virus situation, here are lots of graphs!
The orchid that I expected to have a bloom or two soon, keeps swooping with it's stalk. Who knows where it will end up!
The other one of my orchid plants has decided to send up two flower stalks, as well as to try to climb out of the pot...but I know orchids like to stretch their feet.
...you seem to be more successful with indoor plants than I am.
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 plants on the balcony, where somehow they are still alive. We've had frost almost every night for the last week. I know having the building close, as well as a little roof, may protect them. I went ahead and watered them today (my once-a week watering routine) and talked to them about their perseverance. I was certainly ready for their demise...and they have decided to thwart me. The same thing has happened on the front porch with 2 old Four-O'clocks.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour plant is looking beautiful. Dr Fauci does give the facts and the truth!
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Thanks, Eileen...I like Dr. Fauci, though of course news about the pandemic has not been good lately. I feel so bad for a quarter of a million US families who have lost a loved one.
DeleteNice orchids. Thinking I may give them a try.
ReplyDeleteThey are for sale in the local grocery store now...and I think I got one of mine last year at a big box hardware store at Thanksgiving. I don't know which one is variegated and which one is purple at this point.
DeleteAnyone who can cause an orchid to bloom is worthy of respect. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks...I took some advice from fellow blogger, Vicki Lane, when she posted photos of her orchids blooming in mid winter. So I repotted them in larger pots, put some liquid fertilizer on them once, and only water them once a week, while leaving them in sunny windows.
DeleteWhen I move I hope I can grow orchids. What light exposure do they prefer?
ReplyDeleteMy southern exposure gives them lots of sunshine at this time of year.
DeleteI have an 11 year old orchid plant that is languishing. It bloomed once in the past five years. It did produce a new leaf a couple of months ago. Now it just sits while I wait for it to grow.
ReplyDeleteI am a novice at this game, but have read a few things on the internet. Good luck.
DeleteI have bloom spikes on all but one of my orchids! I've forgotten what color they are so looking forward to a surprise.
ReplyDeleteYou're a model orchid producer...and I also have no idea which one of the two surviving plants is which color.
DeleteNice looking house plants, they must like their location.
ReplyDeleteI may close curtains on cold nights, but open up the windows to the sunshine daily. I can't stand the idea of living inside a box where I can't see as far as possible...and fortunately I get to see mountains about a mile away this time of year...not in the summertime though, thanks to the trees outside the windows.
DeleteLovely plants!
ReplyDeleteIndoor plants are not my friends. Our virus situation is getting worse and worse. :(
ReplyDeleteI have to back off from watering them too often...Sat. or Sun. is the day that they get remembered! Let's hope that we can stop the spread of the virus.
