Blooming Orchid!!

This is my orchid. Its in my bathroom. My husband got it for me about 3 years ago. When he brought it home I was like "are you crazy do you know how hard Orchids are to take care of". I was so wrong. All I did was sit it in this same spot and water it a little every week and it keeps on blooming every year. I thought for sure I was going to be throwing this away right after its blooming season.

That's lucky. I had one that bloomed for about 6 months a few years back. I guess I watered mine too much. Lovely orchid you have. Love that vibrant color of purple. Mine was white - and lovely, too. ~ Renae

It's so pretty! I admit I'm scared of keeping one as I'm awful at looking after plants!

It sure is pretty. I still am not convinced they are easy to grow so haven't taken the plunge yet. I am awful with houseplants-and sometimes with outside plants too. Have a great weekend.

Hi Cherry,
Love the orchid! I have never been brave enough to try one...maybe now I will give it a go.
Thanks for visiting my blog. My daughter will be staying home with me also. Happy Mother's Day!
