My orchids really know it's spring around here, the back porch is really starting to get colorful! These are a few that are blooming:



These just finished blooming:


The butterfly orchid already has a new bloom starting, and these are previous bloom pics of the plants that are in spike, now:

Spring doesn't start until next month for me. . .not that I am feeling sorry for myself or anything.

My butterfly orchid has been putting out new growth but nada spike. . .what's the secret to get it to bloom?

Very nice collection!

Gwen, it's hard to narrow it to a secret. I think it's more along the lines of "when all the secrets come together". But there isn't really a secret, it's just a matter of giving the plants what they want....spoiling them, if you will. I have two butterfly orchids, and they get the same treatment as the rest, (medium light, high humidity, proper nutrients, and lots of air flow).

Very nice blooms! It is spring here too in Montreal, Canada
