A few weeks ago, I photographed the beginning of new buds for a couple of orchids I acquired last winter. They are a type of orchid that I haven't grown before and I bought them out of bloom because they were so much less expensive this way. I got 4 new plants and now, two of them are in full, glorious bloom and I'm just thrilled! What a special treat even as the darkness comes so early and lasts so much longer each day.

It's good to see these this time of year. I don't plant my own flowers, I just look at the wild ones that grow, so I have to wait til next spreing to see more.
Those are gorgeous. I am so bad with plants. A green thumb I do not have. :)
I am so jealous! My brother and I had a challenge to see who could grow orchids successfully...he died before he could prove his ability (melanoma cancer). I tried one more time after he died and just gave it up. I didn't want to be responsible for yet another orchid death! Good job! Absolutely stunning orchids!
These are utterly gorgeous. You are so lucky.
I tried and failed.
I like the purple-y ones - So don't have a green thumb. Plus I have 3 cats and can't have flowers or any greenery in the house, unless I suppose I could suspend them from the ceiling - the plants, not the cats.
Thats a really beautiful orchids. I really love the color and shape of it. Glad to know that you've managed to grow them up

Absolutely gorgeous orchids! My three plants have just finished flowering and I'm hoping they will rebloom again. Any tips?!
Gorgeous! I have no luck with orchids - tried twice. I love how you photographed them against the neutral grey background, makes the flower's colors sing:)
