Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Plant sitter, 1 by lupinelover

I am plant sitting for a neighbor who went away for a few weeks and didn't trust her DH to maintain them (just kidding; she knew how much I admire her orchids and wanted to share them for a while). She is becoming a real orchid pro, and I wanted to share the photo of her dearest treasure. It is named "Mtdm. Hawaiian Sunset 'Yupin'" How is that for a mouthful? Not as photogenic as in real life, but it is gorgeous!

I promised to try to at least keep her orchids alive, but I am doing my best to keep them in bloom. I am good at keeping them alive (some of mine are 4 years old) but not as good as her at making them bloom.
