I could use some serious orchid advice. I had 2 that were given to me as a gift for my daughter's birth. They were so beautiful and after blooms faded I tried food and TLC to get them to rebloom - - I finally gave up after 2 1/2 years and tossed them out. Are there any orchids that are easy to care for and flower abundantly? Is there such a thing? How about something I could put in my garden in my zone? (6a) Well - probably not in my zone - but is there one I could at least put out and then pot it up and overwinter it inside?
