Good! (I think.) The flowers are still there and the buds are getting huge.

Yes- I have to remember to bring my camera in. One of the buds is two-tone like the flower!

I wanted to share this website for Phalaenopsis care.

bensmom, I liked that website. I especially like all of the different varieties of containers they use and the moss in top. Though I don't know how the moss would stay fresh and green like that without soil.

Today I lucked out....I happened to walk by a new (since last time I was there) display at Lowes with orchid fertilizer. It says to water with fertilizer water once a week and to use the BLOOM BOOSTER one on every fourth week. The bloom booster pkg says that it is endorsed by the American Orchid Society. I also grabbed a pkg of flower clips, of course if you need something you never can find it, so I went ahead and got it now.

If I can't keep this one alive now I just might be a lost cause!!! LOL

Here are some websites that are listed on the bags of fertilizers. I haven't had the chance to check them out yet.

Oh, and my baby leaf has grown!!!

How are everyones orchids doing??

So far mine are doing OK. Like anything else having to do with plants......I now have more. I got a baby Cattleya. It will be so cool if we get blooms from these plants next spring. Although the Cattleya is still pretty small yet it has put on some new growth since I transplanted it. We will just have to wait and see.

Your orchid has been blooming this whole time since Valentines Day? If so I guess I didn't realize the blooms lasted this long.
