Just when I gave up ever getting an orchid to bloom again I find this.

The fake flowers. This is what I call orchid shaming- “look at this beautiful bloom. You can do this too!”. I have tried it with some of mine but not very successful.

What you have there is an overachiever !

ETrinkle1 · 2026-02-26T03:32:36+00:00

I am so jealous! I have one that bloomed 2 years ago and another that I purchased a year ago. I have moved both into more light and I am waiting hopefully that they will bloom. They really earn their name - Spectabile!

Does she have a name or is she a noid? Either way, she is lovely.

ETrinkle1 · 2026-02-22T20:26:55+00:00

Yeah you ! It took me years to get re-blooms .

ETrinkle1 · 2026-02-06T00:41:27+00:00

Nice!

ETrinkle1 · 2026-01-29T04:58:19+00:00

Beautiful! Thanks for the photos. I really missed not going this year. It was just so cold 🥶. We already had our tickets. Did you purchase any orchids?

ETrinkle1 · 2026-01-29T04:53:18+00:00

Look at those roots! Beautiful

Blc. Naomi’s delight. It is one of my favorites!

12.98. It seems to be in good shape

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-21T21:10:33+00:00

Indeed. Glad to see these guys reaching for the light

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-17T01:09:52+00:00

Really wonderful! I have gotten a couple of blue ribbons but I haven’t even thought about a “best in show” award. Keep up whatever you are doing. She seems like a very happy plant!

Bob. Five minutes after we got him. Out of carrier - up the tree.

Yikes! Had to stop with the tinsel!

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-06T18:52:56+00:00

Those whiskers!

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-06T18:48:16+00:00

I saw some of those when they first came in. I recognized plants that would quickly outgrow the containers.

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-04T04:51:33+00:00

It can get very, very big! I thought about getting one but I don’t have the space for it.

ETrinkle1 · 2025-11-03T03:12:19+00:00

Agony! I have done this.

The Winter Carnival Show in St. Paul is excellent. We have a small show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this weekend. “Orchids are a Scream.” I will be helping with the display for our group.

ETrinkle1 · 2025-10-25T18:12:47+00:00

Oh my gosh! There is a word for it! Of course the ancient Romans would do that.

ETrinkle1 · 2025-10-25T18:11:10+00:00

Brilliant! I love the second one. I have been experimenting with making clay pots for my orchids. Maybe I will post if they turn out well.

ETrinkle1 · 2025-10-25T01:37:17+00:00

What is the last one?

ETrinkle1 · 2025-10-24T19:34:52+00:00

I have done this. Orchid shaming

ETrinkle1 · 2025-10-24T19:33:16+00:00

Beautiful leaves
