Thanks Ken, Ursula, and Jim!!
I grow them in southeast-facing windows indoors in Massachusetts. I wish I could take full credit for them, but I feel like I am just getting going with orchids. For the past couple years I have been on an orchid "diet" allowing myself to buy one a month. I try to get them in spike and then nurse them through their full bloom, and then try to take care of them and get them to rebloom.
I recently discovered a real problem, though: a supplier for my addiction. I met the orchid buyer at a local garden center who also has an orchid diet: she allows herself to get one "cool" orchid a month. Toward the end of the month, if any haven't sold she will sell them to me for cheap if I take them off her hands. This past month she sold me 8 gorgeous Miltonias at $5 a pop. Most of them were full-blown, but at least three have spikes that are still just getting going. I have been ecstatic, and at the same time, at this rate I am going to run out of growing space really really quickly.
