When I retired from teaching in 2008, several of my "teacher friends" threw a get-together for me. One of those friends ( I had all three of her children over the years) gave me an orchid. She raises them. Now, all I knew about orchids was that they were pretty. I thought that they were exotic looking and high maintenance. She told me that this variety was easy. I thought to myself...yea....right...we'll see about that...I'll probably kill it. I was amazed that it not only lived but bloomed for me!! But this year I got a big surprise. It actually put out two stalks and both of them were covered with blooms! That had never happened before...I felt that I would been lucky to have a bloom much less even one stalk. The flowers haven't fallen off yet so I thought I would share.......

Lucky you. I have not had any luck with blooms. I have not been giving it any fertilizer though.
