My gardening strengths lie more with veggies and perennials. I have been so happy to see it repeatedly bloom! It likes my kitchen window sill, so I plan to just let it love there. You seem to have a real gift with them- they have such pretty blooms!Sarahhttp://www.coffeetocompost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-13067491006000482482016-04-06T12:22:45.229-07:002016-04-06T12:22:45.229-07:00Hi Susan!

I miss my orchids . . . so much so that I started another collection (4 and counting!), :-) All blooms are amazing . . . but a winter blooming orchid is such a gift.

A lot of my orchids bloom in winter and spring. I really do enjoy seeing their blooms. The Nun's orchid is in a pot Leslie. I do bring it in when temps get in the 40's. I had a neighbor in Lakeland who had them planted in the ground and they made it thru some temps in the 30's. Enjoy this beautiful spring weather.

My mom just bought one and she is trying it in the ground (in Tallahassee); I hope it makes it through the winter because it looks so pretty now among the ferns and other flowers.Leslie Kimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819439877752751687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-63832486825211985562016-03-29T13:50:13.968-07:002016-03-29T13:50:13.968-07:00Susan, I think they're all just lovely.

I've been thinking of ...They are all beautiful! I've been thinking of Nun's orchids for quite some time now.<br /><br />I was wondering about how much sun orchids could handle and you more or less answered in this post. I do have reed orchids and a spreading Vanda that do fantastic in the sun all over with little care at all from me. The others are more or less in partial shade and doing well. Some blooms and some budding. :-)<br /><br />Happy Spring dear Susan. I've not found a box large enough for that palm carving you were interested in. I don't know how much shipping would be either.<br /><br />Love & hugs ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
