That wouldve been lovely, how wonderful that they are still going too! <BR/>There is certinally a learning curve to growing orchids, but the secret is all in what species you select. Pick one that does well where you live - and you look like a champion horticulturalist. (Just hide the ones you killed before anyone notices!!!)

We have them but not on rocks, so I forgot Hahhaa. Almost forget what's down in the garden because of the rain. I MUST go see how the larger orchids are doing ... they are supposed to be flowering and had the worst year last year, which means this year should be better :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732532158833146797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-11259330870401107502007-07-07T17:54:00.000+10:002007-07-07T17:54:00.000+10:00Hi Anon!
