After a few issues resolved (like no phone, TV, or Internet), the weekend, shared with dear friends, was awesome.<br /><br />Thanks, Rick, and welcome! Don't give up on orchids. They are hardier than you think!<br /><br />I'm honored and thank you, Amy!<br /><br />Kate, you are right on! Orchids seem to last forever. It's as though they say, "Hey, I'm pricey but worth it!"

One Orchid is in bloom for me ~ I was taking some pics of it today, but didn't like the way they turned out. There's something wonderful about Orchid blooms and the way they last for so long.

Mine vacation outside during the summer, which seems to agree with them :)<br /><br />With your green thumb, they will thrive, Eileen! Orchids are so stunning, it is hard to walk past them and not be in awe.<br /><br />Thanks, Krista. Orchids are very photogenic!<br /><br />Sounds like you are not alone, Christine. Like African Violets, I find orchids thrive on my neglect :)<br /><br />How kind, iMac. Your Wales photos have left ME breathless :)<br /><br />Do hope you give them a try, Lindalou.

I know absolutely nothing about orchids other than they are beautiful.<br /><br />I used to read Nero Wolfe stories years ago (mysteries) and Nero grew orchids. They were his love and his babies.
