Post #6395295

Hi, everyone! I've never posted here before. I can normally be found on the Cactus & Succulent forum but I just HAD to share these blooms with y'all.

I got a HUGE plant at a large greenhouse that provided corsage orchids. When the corsage industry took a nose dive I picked up this plant that I divided up into 4 or 5 pieces. Two of them were put into semi-hydroponics. This is one and another is in the background. At one time I had over 100 orchids but for many reasons their care has been lacking. This is the best example I can give of benign neglect. These puppies are blooming their fool heads off.

Hope you enjoy the pict. and HAPPY EASTER!

Sharon
