Don’t let its delicate appearance fool you. This exotic, graceful orchid is among the most hardy of houseplants. These plants are commonly referred to as “Moth Orchids” and are considered among the easiest of the orchid family to care for as well as the most recognizable. The long-lasting flowers bloom perfectly for up to three months. The flowering intervals vary with each plant, and you may be treated to a bloom as often as twice a year. Phalaenopsis have become one of the most popular variety of orchids because of their low maintenance and delicate balance of poise and elegance.
We picked up this beauty yesterday at our local garden center. There are three blooms and more on the way.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs! SOME BEAUTY INBETWEEN THE UGLY REALITIES OF LIFE. wITH ALL THE NEGATIVE MASSIVE MEDIA, WE NEED A RAY OF SUNSHINE! sOME HINT HOW THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TAKEN WOULD HELP SOME OF US INTERESTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY. i WONDER IF THEY ARE DIGITAL, SINCE THIS IS THE NEW AGE. I DO SLR PHOTOGRAPHY and LIKE YOU TOO, WHAT I CAN TELL LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE A MINIMALIST! ANYWAY, THANK YOU!
SweetLight — thanks for the compliment. We get occasional comments and feedback that our site is a nice place to come for a break from the other stuff. I’m not quite sure what you mean “minimalist” but I enjoy taking pictures.
The camera I use is a Canon Digital Rebel 300D 6.3 megapixel with the stock EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. I also have wide-angle and telephoto lenses available if I need them.
Glad you like the pictures – I love taking them.
