Holly I never thought of maybe houseplants are going out of fashion you might be right.
Tarev I picked up another orchid to kill from the grocery store a couple weeks ago. I do not know why I do it knowing that I kill them. But I like them more than poinsettia, My decor is white, white furniture and rug in the living room. I always pick up the white blooming orchid and put it on the coffee table for the holidays and it usually stays in bloom until March. The leaves look pretty because I have a very pretty pot for the table. It lives through the summer and then about now (Dec.) it starts to die. It is as if it is telling me "You better go buy another Christmas orchid because I am going to die".
