Here is another update from the homestead: My orchid finally started to bloom again after almost two years! It now has gorgeous yellow petals with streaks of purple - I think that it must have cross-bred with another purple orchid that I previously had. Nevertheless, it is stunning to look at on a cold, wintery Saskatchewan morning.
As you might detect from the pictures, the span of its leaves is nearly 20 inches now - they just keep growing and growing. In fact, the leaves have grown so much since I first got the orchid, I thought I would never see it bloom again. Then one day it dawned on me that I my house wasn't humid enough for it, so I moved the orchid to the window by the kitchen sink. Who would have thought that washing dishes and bringing it into the shower with me would have been so good for it?
To be continued...
