A Passion for Orchids

I do have a passion for orchids but truly I am a novice .I do not have a greenhouse but wish I did but our weather here in N FL works very well for orchids . I keep them in filtered outside until they are once again blooming and then I bring them indoors . I have been fortunate that I have been able to bring some of my collection of orchids back into bloom and want to share my blooming orchids that I have enjoyed over the past month with you for Outdoor Wednesday .

This particular one is so large that I never bring it inside but enjoy it while in bloom on my patio . It is a cymbidium and not one of the easier of orchids to grow but I have had a little success with them .

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favorites, another cymbidium and I just love that touch of hot pink with the yellow throat on this white orchid. I think it is a knock out.

 

 

 

This is another cymbidium and I  move them all over the house . This one is in our family room . The color of the orchid works very well with the colors I use in this room .

 

 

 



This one is commonly called a Slipper orchid, sorry that I don't have the botanical name handy but I have placed this one on my island in my kitchen .

 

This is another orchid which I placed on my island before the Slipper orchid began to bloom. I often move them around. When we renovated our kitchen the surface of the island is called Zebra wood and it comes from Africa. When I am home there is always a candle burning on my island , it gives an ambiance that is very pleasurable to me .

 

 

 



I have enjoyed sharing some of my orchids , my passion for orchids , that I now have blooming . I am sharing this post at Susan's blog , A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday. You can click HERE to see other interesting posts shared at this blogging party.

 

I hope each of you are having a wonderful day.
