I've wanted them for years and last Valentines Day Ric gave me the one in the picture. I was surprised at how long it bloomed for me and even more surprised when it re-bloomed. Every so often he will get me another and I have gotten a few from the Raffle table at the meetings. I give mine showers from time to time and you can sit them on trays with stones and water under them. Becareful you want them on the tray not in the the tray you don't want the roots too wet but the trays will add humidity to the area around the plants. My house is pretty dry also as we heat with a wood/coal stove. I have visited the Orchid Forum but it is still all Greek to me. I just really need to sit down and read a few good books.
Nutmegnanna has a lot of Orchids and really knows her stuff. We really enjoyed ourselves last year at Rawlings in the Orchid room. I can never remember the name of the one I liked so much and smelled so good. Ric and I were just talking about going down next week the Orchids should be looking very good right now. Here is a picture of the Orchid room at Rawlings
