There was a guy selling orchids from a stall in the shops. I was gonna get a cheap little one, but this one was only $50, and it's so pretty! 😍 Hope I can keep it alive.🤞 I put it in a less precarious position after taking this photo.

#Orchid help:

3 Phalaenopsis. Last year, the oldest started producing only one spike. ~6 years old.

2 new plants had 2 spikes. Both are growing only one spike this fall.

Window faces slightly northeast. Feed ~Aug thru May. 73F to 78F summer. 66F (night) to 73F fall and winter. Clear plastic orchid pot with orchid medium. Soak in water when roots are silver. Humidity ~40% in fall ~65% in the summer.

Suggestions to get them to produce two spikes much appreciated.

Here is the results from some #orchid hunting. More Diuris than I've ever seen before and dense patch of what I think is some yet to flower Sun Orchids.

I will be returning here next week so I hope that patch of Sun Orchids has decided to open. Would make for some amazing photos.

They often have species you might see in any tropical garden. I was surprised at how many I've come across even in peoples yards around here. But the big advantages for me are the greenhouses cause I get pretty starved for blooms in winter and early spring time, lol. Plus the #orchid rooms always have a big variety blooming at the same time👍. These are from that same trip to Chicago's Conservatory. #orchids

Image of an orchid flower. This variety has five pink upper petals, a white, yellow, and maroon center, and lighter white to pink lower petals. Another bloom is visible in the background as is out of focus green foliage.

I’ve taken care of the poorly orchids today. I thought someone else was looking after them but turned out there wasn’t.

Felt good to give them a little spa bath and dust off their leaves, and now I hope they will perk up a bit. They’re “only” plants but it was important for me right now to do this 🌱💚 At least one place where I can make a difference 🥰

A few years ago we had these lovely orchids. I think when they finished flowering we gave them to a friend who is gifted in bringing them back in their original beauty. That's a skill we don't have. But we got the photo to remember them by.

I have no idea how or why, but for some reason a leek #orchid (Microtis) has spontaneously come up in a pot on our balcony. Means not only must a seed have got there somehow from one of the nature reserves nearby, but also a symbiotic fungus capable of nurturing the orchid seedling seems to live in that pot.

As the nights are getting colder, we've started to bring in some the orchids from the glass greenhouse. It is too expensive to heat it over the winter.

This specimen (Pleurothallis dilemma) had a stowaway that we didn't discover until it started calling from the kitchen yesterday evening after we turned the lights out.

It is four months since the first bloom on my #orchid opened and #Today the first bloom fell off... This generation will soon be gone : #bloomscrolling #houseplants

The orchid as it was in all its glory, 14 blooms. Today 3 are wilting and one fell off. Time waits for no orchid....

Bulbophyllum (fka Cirrhopetalum) Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' FCC/AOS (B. longissimum x B. rothschildianum). B. 'Elizabeth Ann' was bred by S Low and registered with the RHS by J Chambers in 1969, and presumably 'Buckleberry' was a subsequent development, but I can't find that info. The furthest back I can find it is getting an AM/AOS in 1986.

I just learned that there is an oncidium #orchid that was given the name "Tribbles". I'm guessing it's because the cross is between Oncidium Trilobum and Oncidium Nobile, but now I wonder if the breeder made the cross because they could have a cool name.

#BloomScrolling #Photography #Orchid

Close up photograph of a large white Phalaenopsis moth orchid on a windowsill.

The orchid has five large white flowers, each with a tiny bit if yellow at the centre and an elaborate, almost sculptural shape. One particular flower is viewed side on, and a small part of the centre reaches out towards the window in an elegant sweeping shape that resembles the figurehead of a ship.

There is a window to the left of the frame, with a black venetian blind - the sun is streaming through the window, causing the orchids to glow softly against a darker background.

The whole photograph has strong contrast with crushed shadows and soft highlights, like a Polaroid.

About two months ago, I received 12 vanilla #orchid cuttings, rather than the 4 I expected after ordering them on a whim. Since I had extras—of a plant I didn't really expect to keep alive anyway—and not enough small pots, I experimented with putting some of them in a mix of potting soil, sphagnum moss, and orchid bark… in an acacia bowl.

This single-node cutting has since grown a root as long as itself! I'm calling this an outright win. 😁 #bloomscrolling

my neighbor's husband was thinning out his #orchids, so now i am the owner of this tangled mess of little red orchids.

these are #epiphytes & as far as i can tell, don't need any soil at all. roots come out of the stem, and as the stem gets longer, more roots come out of the newer parts of the stem.

the flowers are tiny, but they are cute ^-^

I've been growing orchids hydroponically for a few years now.

Things I've learnt:

1) They don't like crowding.
2)They don't like spending a day dry (some people recommend this).
3) Change the water weekly.
4) Feed with a specific orchid feed. (my local DIY shop sells it, so it's available everywhere)

This is one of my wildest successes. It's a philaenopsis.There are loads of articles on it.

Look up 'orchid hydroponics'. Easy.

There is a large hole in the middle of the basalt, and a ring of crystals is affixed to the edge of the hole. The background is visible in the center of the ring of crystals. The basalt is balanced on a larger rock. Trees are visible behind the basalt, and far in the background, a bright sky is visible above the horizon.

A friend gave me this teeny tiny orchid a few years ago. It blooms every year around my birthday. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I don’t know anything about this variety.
