Love orchids and have a beautiful one that blooms for 3-5 weeks once/yr. You say your orchid flowers 12 months out of the year. I don't understand. Is it in constant bloom??
LOL! I just found a chart that had X's in the boxes for every month of the year. I assume that means if I do things right, I can keep this baby blooming. I don't know, we'll see.
