A common Phalaenopsis sp., but a sign that spring is not too far away

ahhhh spring. I have tried orchids but just can't keep them alive over winter. I give up on them too easily.

This is the only one here that has bloomed more than once, my secret is low budget drip irrigation.
(the roof leaks, it gets watered every time the snow melts or with rain

Very nice, Steve.

Here's my Cymbidium from last year taken March 27th.
Nothing happening yet this year...left it in the cold building (big mistake).

Kent, the biggest trick for me was learning to let them get cool in the Fall, and not bring them in too early.
