Everything is coming up orchids at Easter!

  Its beginning to look alot like paradise here!  All of the orchids that were too cold to bloom this winter, are blooming a little late.  How perfect because its Easter and it just gives everything a little more beauty.  Its really the weather here in Florida that orchids love.  Although, I do like to take some credit other than the stellar photography...... haha!
  I find the Vanda Orchid here at the left,  more difficult to bring back every year.  They need daily watering and frequent feeding.  I am not as diligent as I should be, but  I seem to have picked a compliant Vanda who wants to please me.  How great for me...making me look really good!
  The others are Phalaenopsis and are easier to return to bloom each year.  These are the first I have ever attached to a tree.  I attach them with good old pantyhose in May.  After the summer rains, they are attached to the tree and we no longer have the see the pantyhose.  After this summer, I can take that off.
  I hope you all have a great Easter.  Ours is already wonderful, as we have alot of family in town.  Enjoy!
