ORCHID ART

I was given an orchid years ago from my daughter, Sonya. After the first flowers died off it never flowered again until last year. This year it has bloomed again. I have finally found the right place for it. I was so pleased that I took lots of photos and even practiced with my macro lens.

    Lovely, you had faith to keep it so long. I've never had much success with them but perhaps I wasn't patient enough.

    I have several orchids in my kitchen/diner and they seem very happy there in the window. They flower regularly. That last shot is beautiful. Glad you have found the right place for it. Have a good weekend, t'other Diane

    Stunning! Mine love the light but not sun and not too much water and they flower almost all year round. I used to be afraid of orchids, but they are surprisingly easy to keep once you find that sweet spot for them to live.

    You and I are on the same wavelength for sure... I worked on an ORCHID post --which will be published about April 20 ore 23 I think..... We went to Biltmore on March 23 and took some amazing Orchid pictures in the Conservatory. They are such gorgeous flowers... Your pictures are TERRIFIC.

    Hope you are having a good weekend.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    You are doing a great job with the macro! My favorite is the last shot. I bet you are so glad you didn't give up on this orchid. The wait was worth it. It is gorgeous!

    Your orchid has a very beautiful color and your photos are wonderful, Diane!

    When my Mother passed away a friend sent an orchid plant to me. It has bloomed every spring since then, but this year it did not send out a new stem. the leaves are still very green, so it is alive but I fear no flower will come.
