I think I am becoming an orchid nerd. I would buy one now and again. They flower for at least three months, and you always have something at home. I kept the spent plants, hoping that they would flower again, but they never did. I should have thrown them away and not kept them.
However I put them outside on the porch and almost forgot them, until……, I noticed that there was a strange bump on a stalk. And then another spent orchid followed and also had bumps. They all had bumps and now 1-2 months later they all have flowers. Now the problem is that I have almost no room for my flowering orchids. I still have two orchids that are just stalks. That was until I took a closer look today and discovered that they too are producing flower bumps.
The local store has a new selection of orchids. Up to now I have resisted, but I am sure I could find a space somewhere.

Orchids are a pretty nice flower to be all nerdy over though, don’t you think?

They are especially great when they flower and mine are all flowering again at once, making it all worthwhile

My mum went through a phase of growing them for a while when I was still living at home. I think she’s still got a few around her backyard. They’re just beautiful, I reckon 🙂
