Default OH JOY!
Hi everyone,
First of all, those of you who are "professional" orchid growers.....and even those of you who are "semi-professional" please try not to laugh at me because I can't help it. I have to share my excitement with you, though.....one of my orchids (my Zygoneria Adelaide Meadows in S/H) has buds on it for the first time.....first time buds for me on ANY of my orchids! I just noticed it this morn. at breakfast. It's a Lowe's "bag-baby", by the way. I know my lil buds are small and certainly not even blooms yet.....but more encouragement than I've had so far in my less than a year of growing. Ok, give me the negatives.....what are the chances they make it to bloom stage? No worries.....you won't burst my bubble. Thoughts, please.

Well, that's my news for today. Thanks for reading.
Vicki

Awesome work, Vicki!! You have every reason to be excited. Any time an orchid spikes it's exciting. But first times are even more exciting. Good job!!

The first reblooming of an orchid is so exciting!! If you keep doing what your doing and avoid moving the plant around, there is no reason for it to not bloom. Can't wait to see the pics!

Thank you, everyone! I just had to share my excitement with dedicated OB co-members who I KNEW would understand. My husband is a "sweety" (most of the time lol).....but sometimes.....geez. When I told him my good news, he said "annnnnddd??? Oh, ok.....I'm very, very glad for you.....whatever". lol
