Moth orchid
My mom gave me this beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid. Its a remarkably reliable bloomer. Every year for the past 5 or so years it has bloomed from Mother's Day 'til mid-summer. Probably 2 months of bloom. I put it out in the garden in a shady spot under the sprinklers after the blooms finish and I give it some regular garden fertilizer. This year I'll remember to put some slug pellets around it - the slugs like its leaves.

What a delightful blogsite! What a lovely orchid! I had two and once the flower died off I could NOT get another bloom and within the year the plants died off too..I have not the confidence to begin anew. You have done much work in creating these collages! I just learned the skill and look forward to posting my first!
