Hello everyone!
My name is Karin and I have been growing orchids in my windows for 35 years now, first living in NH and now I have moved to MA. I'm happy to say that the orchids and all my other plants seem to be much happier in their new home than before and I am getting many more blooms. It's wonderful to see my plants doing as well as they are. I also like to take photographs of my flowers both inside and out. One of my all time favorite orchids is Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta. I love this orchid so much that I have to admit that I have 5 of these and 4 of them are now in spike and one is in full bloom. Makes me smile every time I look at them. This has not been an easy plant to grow in the house, especially since 4 of them are mounted on tree fern so I have to be so careful that they don't dry out. I call them my babysitting plants as they have to be tended so but it is worth it to see these little beauties bloom! Hope everyone has a good day! Karin


Life is short, enjoy the ride!
