They are stunning flowers. I even like their form and enjoy removing the old leaves around them just before their flowers emerge. Quite satisfying and ritualistic but so worth it. Even though they only flower in spring, this is one plant that would be in my top ten of potentials to take to a "desert island".......if that situation should ever occur! :-)......and I couldfind a cool shady spot there for them!!!

This Dendrobium was getting chucked at work (hate this!) and saved this one. Yes, I am the Oscar Schindler of the local Orchid community :-)

I can't believe they were going to throw away that orchid either! Very pretty little tulips Rosie, your snowdrops are still looking good too, all mine are over now.

The only flowers I have right now are orchids, most of the plants that are in the ground are growing backwards -- new foliage is smaller and shorter to cope with the heatwave.
