Coming Up Orchids

moth orchidelmhurst orchid

Orchids: Moth, Elmhurst


dendrobium orchid

Dendrobium


Something to cheer you up if Spring feels too far away. I bought the Wonderlite in November when 2 of my plants started spiking and boy did it pay off. The plants didn't bloom last year because there wasn't enough light. Well, okay the moth orchid did, but I got it last year in full bloom. It only had 6 flowers though. This year there are 10 hot pink flowers on the Moth orchid, the size of my palm, much bigger than last year's. There are 6 peach flowers on the Elmhurst the size of a nickel and 10 white/purple flowers on the Dendrobium, which is in between. It has made a dreary winter more than just bearable.
