Hello Everyone - Orchid Board

I have read the forum and there is a lot of interesting reading you cannot find on the internet. I have posted 10 pictures of my second orchid that I have growing in water. The first one did not make it to the new place

and a few other did not adapt to the change.
I enjoy taking pictures of orchids and many other flowers. In Vancouver it is green all year round and no shortage of beautiful flowers to snap. I hope you enjoy my photos and message me if you have any questions.

It's great to see another Canadian on the Orchid Board!

Be prepared to get further addicted to orchids and have your house taken over bu them!

I could read for hours on here. I guess now when we are down at work I know how to occupy my time. I am looking forward to getting some different orchids in the future. I missed the last orchid show near my home. Vancouver Orchid Society have a wonderful variety of plants. I had one (not sure of the name). It was little yellow flowers on waxing type of stems. I loved it and it always seemed to be in bloom. Sad to say that one didnt make the move to my new place either. I am slowly building inventory back up. Very excited being here.

I posted my pictures in the gallery and I am not sure how to get them to my photo album. Are they public now? I want to share my orchid growing in water. Thanks if anyone can assist me :-)

The little camera on your post takes anyone who clicks to your gallery. There are how tos, if you use the search function if you want a pic in your post. How neat to grow in just water are you using regular tap water? Pretty bloom. Looks like its happy

Thank you for your reply. I wasn`t sure I had posted them right. I will make up an album too. Yes I just use warm tap water and dont let the water get green. I just run it through until it is clear. Once I put in one of those sticks but dont think it did anything.
The blooms are big and seem very happy. I like using the water over the mossy stuff. My first one that was in water only produced new leaves and did not bloom.
