I personally feel that orchids are beyond beautiful! Do you agree or disagree with me? I wish i lived in a place where I could grew them, but hte weather where I live always kills them right away. If you have tips on keeping them alive longer please share them with me.

I have a few although only one flowered this year, but that is my fault as I haven't been feeding them with orchid feed, I think orchids are very easy to grow, even though it gets hot here in Melbourne in the summer I have mine in partial shade, I believe they like to be in a crowed pot and all they need is a little water and orchid feed...maybe next year I will have more as I will feed them as soon as my one orchid finishes flowering.

Hi there,
I have about five hundred in my backyard in two shadehouses. but i also grow them inside as the moth orchids are great as houseplants as long as you can keep the mealy bugs off them. Have to repot as I go with so many but they don't all have to be repotted at the same time. I hope you have some fun with yours when you get some more

I agree they are beautiful. They would grow quite well in my mild temperatures. My problem is I can't grow every plant. Thanks for sharing a picture, as I can never see to many flowers.
