I am not a photographer and merely take shots of pretty flowers or unusual scenes around the yard. These photos are HUGE for me because I have been trying to get my orchids to bloom for the last 6 years. I tired every tip given to me. I put the plants in the bathroom where there was more light and moisture; I put them in a dark closet for a week; I fertilized them; I misted them and moved them from room to room.
Around Christmas I decided to give up and moved them upstairs to my craft area in front of an outside door facing west. It just so happened that I keep a night light on in this area so that I can see to walk to the stairs when I turn off my computer and desk light. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED....my orchids bloomed. I am really happy and my orchids get a reprieve from the trash bin.

I bet they heard that threat...bloom or else! You have a lot of patience. Looks like it was well worth the wait. Do they smell as goregous as they look?
