Than...Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Orchids, yes, they have always been a challenge for us here at the farm. I've killed every one ever received as a gift - giving an orchid to someone who regularly kills them is dangerous (for the orchid). Anyway, FHFB and I went to the Orchid Show at the NY Botanical Garden one March, he had purchased tickets as a Valentine's Day gift. The show was so spectacular that you couldn't help be fascinated by the many varieties and then determined that you too can raise one. And of course the staff continually stated how easy they are to grow. FHFB purchased three different varieties: Tinkle Bell (very cute little white/yellow flowers, a chocolate scented one and one other that I don't recall. That was four years ago and the orchids are doing well. They are his babies and he takes good care of them. So, give it a try - but try going to an orchid workshop or talking to a good orchid grower for help and support!

When I moved them out here I never could find the spot they liked so they are now in orchid heaven.<br />Along with a lot of my other plants.<br />The little lemon drop or whatever you called it would be prefect for me. A neighbor had one for sale and I have been wanting to ask him if it sold. <br />You are living my dream right now traveling but you also did another post about that too and your right be happy where we are now. I need to copy and paste that and put it only the ceiling.<br />I got a kick out of your comment about my drugs being good. Thank goodness I am slowly taking less each day. <br />Love you <br />Maggie<br />PS<br />Can't wait to see where you are and the picturesGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-40159708403222519962010-07-18T07:40:20.627-07:002010-07-18T07:40:20.627-07:00Hi Jo...I didn't know you were traveling to Ut...Hi Jo...I didn't know you were traveling to Utah!
