Wow!! Seems like you are doing something right

You are so lucky to have the possibility to have your orchids outside, in the cold north it's impossible....

Post more pictures, it's inspiring...

Thank you....most of them look pretty ok now, but since I've been trying to grow orchids only a few weeks, the growers before made em look good....not me. Check my collection again in a few weeks, months, a yr. Chances are that they won't look as good then as they do now. lol I'm sure trying to keep them healthy, though....so please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hi Vicki...Since I'm new to the OB, I never ventured far enough down the page until this evening when I saw your beginner discussion, and your post and then those wonderful pictures!...It certainly is lovely to have them all outside right there on your...veranda!!! They all look so healthy and happy..I can't recognize one from another yet, except maybe the phals...but they are so lovely..to me, an enviable collection. I look forward to seeing the rest of your pics.. Eileen

Hi Vicki, I'm new here too. Welcome. Your plants look absolutely lovely. I really like the way the first picture is mounted in that basket. You are so lucky to be able to have them outside. I've put mine on my deck railing for the last few weeks however we are expecting a big spike in temps this week so they are back in with me. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Good Luck!

Default Hi Leslie

Thank you for the welcome, Leslie. Same to you....welcome! I'm glad you like my lil basket mount. Just thought I'd try something different. As for my plants, thanks....I wish I could take credit for the ones that are blooming, but you know, of course, I can't. I don't think I could fool anyone here because there are people who know that I've not been around long enough for that. I wouldn't even have had to tell them I'm new....anyone can tell that I am by the elementary questions I ask. lol Maybe someday I can post some pics of plants that I CAN take credit for their blooming.

I'm sure my Orchids have enjoyed some of our weather outside down here, but I doubt they have liked the heat. It is HOT! 95 yesterday and even hotter today. I have fans on them outside on the porch.

Thanks for the note....It's nice to meet you, Leslie.
Vicki
