I so feel for everyone losing orchids to frost. Since we moved to Orlando from South FL, I am down to just the most hardiest of orchids. I lost so many and gave away the others Sad

Here are my December orchids:

Thumb of 2011-12-29/GoneTropical/6b7708
have to look up its name, but this one blooms on and off all year


Thumb of 2011-12-29/GoneTropical/04551a
Ctna. Why Not, flowers all year round with just short breaks

Thanks, all. I've had a wonderful year and the orchids have now adapted to their new environment. Life is good.

Evelyn, I have enjoyed your posts. This forum is full of wonderful people and I am sure you will be comfortable here. Welcome!

Lindsey. What a lovely treat to welcome you home! I'll bet the fragrance was great as well.

Jim
