Tir, this is not an orchid though. This isan orchid cactus. Makes a really awsome flower, but it doesn't last long.

BTW if you got an orchid to live at all for years, you'rewway ahead of me.:)

this should be a picture of my orchid cactus that bloomed last year. It's a different variety. These are very easy to grow. The trick to getting them to bloom is to keep them somewhere for the winter where they can be fairly cool. And then ofcourse fertilize.
