For some reason I am having trouble posting photos. Martha's has 1 leaf.

I used to grow a few orchids back in the 70's mostly cattleyas and Cymbidiums. I had a really nice basket of "Green Cascade" in a hanging basket I actually won a few prizes with that one. Then I got interested in fuchsias, another addiction began .

Edited to include some of the orchids shown at the local show here, looking this up I recognized one of the names, this person is still growing and showing, was the one that got me interested in orchids back in the 70's. Now that's dedication.

All the remaining orchids that I couldn't bear to give away are now sending up flower stalks. Most are doubles!!!!

some year i would love to take a trip to NYBG. but it seems like an expensive ordeal & would bore my DH if i took him.

back in 2000 when I & my family went to Florida to visit Disney, i happen to be looking at a brochure of attractions in the area we were staying in. nearby there was an orchid greenhouse & i really wanted to go to that instead of the parks! still wishing i did. don't know what would have been more expensive a tourist destination-Disney or coming out of their greenhouse with plants!

i'm excited this year since i have 2 different orchids in my kitchen & i've been waiting to see them flower. both i bought at 1/2 price since they were done blooming, so i don't have a clue what colors they could be & the name tags were both missing. both have been growing nicely & putting down new roots the past year. the phalaenopsis hasn't started growing a flower stem yet but the dendrobium has new growth along the stem so i am hopeful to see some flowers starting soon!
