Over five years ago I was given a lovely orchid when I left my job. It flowered for 18 months, then stopped. I had planned to chuck it out, but never got around to it. So glad I didn’t, because at the end of last year it grew a new stem and over Christmas buds formed. This week the first bud opened into a beautiful new flower !
Wow that’s beautiful. I kept a Orchid stem for agggges (I think about 2 years) but it never flowered again 🙁
Hello, thanks so much for paying me a visit and so sorry you weren’t as lucky with your orchid as I seem to have been with mine. Another flower out today! 🙂
Lovely! Mine is looking a bit sorry for itself at the moment – soon I hope it blooms too!
Hello, so kind of you to visit my blog, thanks so much. So sorry your orchid is looking a bit sad. Take courage from my experience, all may not yet be lost!
That’s a gorgeous specimen! I used to be excellent at growing orchids, but when we moved into this house something about the air stops them from growing.
Lovely to see you here, thanks for visiting! Can’t believe that it was dormant for so many years! Then suddenly it grows a new stem and hey presto, lovely flowers!
Beautiful. I love orchids, one of my favourite flowers.
Hello Laura, thanks so much for your comment. My orchid seems to be doing well, despite the fact that it gets tap water to drink! (Have heard I should use rainwater ho hum!)
