Default Office windowsill...

cheering up the dark winter...



...only the Phals are my own work bought them in bloom a bit more than one year ago, and are re-blooming this year again. Funny, they delayed their bloom about 3 months compared to when I bought them) They receive lot's of light from west and north at that corner, and are kept a bit cool during winter (heating below them is kept off) and do not know the meaning of misting , but take a "shower" once a week. and are kept outside in the garden during sommer (next to the Rhododendrons and shaded by them)
The Dend. was a present from a work colleage for Nikolaus (same as santa, and is celebrated on Dec., 6th hier in german speaking region), and I love it!
unfortunatelly, ttwo other Phals and one Epidendrum I had bought tend November did not survive my office - they were infected with "I don't know what" and died within days
